| |
Hello,
I have the following question: If I compile the kernel (2.4.*) and boot it in, then the kernel-release, as shown by 'uname -r' will be the string that was in the EXTRAVERSION string from the kernel Makefile. Is there any way to change this 'identity' of the kernel after the compilation? Such as changekernelname bzImage "newname"
For example I have bzImage.test1, which I copy to bzImage.test2 (and not complete recompile the kernel with new EXTRAVERSION string), and when test1 boots in I would like uname to say 2.4.23-test1, and when test2 boots in to say 2.4.23-test2. And in addition to this, of course I copy /lib/modules/2.4.23-test1 to /lib/modules/2.4.23-test2.
