Therefore, I have in my .config following option: CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO=y Additionally, following is set: CONFIG_LOCALVERSION="++" The output that is expected is said to be the first eight characters of the output of 'git rev-parse --verify HEAD'. The output in my kernel directory is: $ git rev-parse --verify HEAD c8d2bc9bc39ebea8437fd974fdbc21847bb897a3 After installing the kernel the name of the kernel is as follows: vmlinuz-4.8.0++ I expected: vmlinuz-4.8.0++-gc8d2bc9b My question: Where is the version string that I expected? Marco Mit freundlichen Gr??en / Best regards Marco Gross Diplomand [cid:LogoFritzStephan72dpi120x55Pixel_cfdd7a92-cbea-435d-a419-8d088e6ed7a8.png] Fritz Stephan GmbH - Medizintechnik - Kirchstra?e 19, D-56412 Gackenbach Tel.: +49 6439 9125-249 Fax: +49 6439 9125-111 E-Mail: mgross at stephan-gmbh.com Web: www.stephan-gmbh.com Handelsregister Amtsgericht Montabaur HR-Nr. 4241 Gesch?ftsf?hrer: Tanja Stephan, Georg Mainusch [cid:Eve_Signatur_145525f8-5839-48a6-8419-4e43941739b5.jpg] [cid:YouTube-logo-full_color_362f623d-4265-4133-9721-da6b905f4c25.png] -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
