I've just updated gcc (2.7.2.3) and recompiled the kernel for the 7th time and just noticed that upon boot (and in dmesg) it reports: Linux version 2.0.33 ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) (gcc version 2.7.2.1) #3 Sun Jan 25 23:34:17 CST 1998 I used a config file from a previous xconfig, made a few minor adjustments and recompiled it last night (Mar 5 01:31 /boot/vmlinuz). I'm very curious where the boor process gets this incorrect information about 1. the gcc version, 2. the incorrect # of times it's been recompiled, and 3. the 'far-from-right' date of which it was compiled. Anyone have any clues?
