You might have left your changes to the kernel uncommited inside your git repository. These uncommited changes produce the -dirty string in your kernel name. The script at scripts/setlocalversion generates the version when you have set LOCALVERSION_AUTO=y, so you might also take a look there. - Julius _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
