[ale] Kernel Versions

[ChrisF at computone.com (Chris Fowler)]

For kernel versions, what does the last number mean?


For exapmle.


2.2.16-22?? Where does to 22 come from?


I'm using 2.2.12-20 on RRH 6.0 and had problems rebuilding 2.2.12 with some patches.?? I dowloaded 2.2.12 from ftp.kernel.org and I do not want to rebuild

all my modules.?? the modules reside in /lib/modules/2.2.12-20?? Is there anything I need to do to make sure the version '20' is on my kernel?

Thanks,
Chris
