<div dir="ltr">What really confuses me about the attempts I was making is that in<br>my local.conf file I have explicitly asked for kernel version 3.8.11:<br><br> PREFERRED_VERSION_linux-yocto := "3.8.11%"<br>
<br>When I watch the build messages fly by I see that linux-yocto_3.8.11<br>is being built.<br><br>In my work directory there is a directory called:<br><br> tmp/work/qemumips64-poky-linux/linux-yocto/3.8.11+gitAUTOINC+8482dcdf68f9f7501118f4c01fdcb8f851882997_bbefde394205a1b317eae31942bfc13afce0b0ac-r4.1/<br>
<br>but when I got into the<br><br> tmp/work/qemumips64-poky-linux/linux-yocto/3.8.11+gitAUTOINC+8482dcdf68f9f7501118f4c01fdcb8f851882997_bbefde394205a1b317eae31942bfc13afce0b0ac-r4.1/linux<br><br>directory and have a look at the Makefile, I see:<br>
<br> VERSION = 3<br> PATCHLEVEL = 8<br> SUBLEVEL = 4<br> EXTRAVERSION =<br> NAME = Unicycling Gorilla<br><br>and when I boot the image the kernel banner says:<br><br> Linux version 3.8.4-yocto-standard (trevor@zzz) (gcc version 4.7.2 (GCC) ) #1 PREEMPT Tue May 14 11:10:07 EDT 2013<div>
<br></div><div>Can anyone explain the discrepancy?</div></div>
