Hi,
in general, the version information for each kernel
will be found at /usr/include/linux/version.h
The path /usr/include/linux is a link to
/usr/src/linux/include/linux and
/usr/src/linx is normally a link to your current
kernel, i.e:
/usr/src/linux-2.2.14
If you now upgrade your kernel and you have
forgotten to correct the link /usr/src/linux, then
every kernel-module you build outside the
kernelsource structure will include the wrong
version information.
So always remember to set the link /usr/src/linux
to your current kernel-source tree before recompiling
kernel-modules like pt_drv, then your version mismatch
problem should be solved.
