Kernel 2.6.28.19 and 2.6.28-19-generic

Hi,

I am using Ubuntu Jaunty, kernel version used is 2.6.28-19-generic, there are some modules which are not built by default in Jaunty, so I tried to include those modules manually by downloading kernel 2.6.28.19 and building it, but after building the kernel I am unable to run that module, so is kernel version 2.6.28.19 and 2.6.28-19-generic same or different?

With Best Regards,
Harsha

Your 2.6.28-19-generic is a ubuntu kernel, and has been patched by ubuntu.
I don't use ubunut, but the -19 probably means that is their 19th build, or
release of 2.6.28.

There is no 2.6.28.19 from kernel.org ... the latest Linux kernel in that
series is 2.6.28.10.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

Sorry I had made a mistake while mentioning the kernel version.
There are some kernel modules (*.ko) missing in ubuntu-9.04 version, in order to include these modules can you suggest which kernel version I need to download and build so that the built kernel module is compatible with the one in ubuntu?

With Best Regards,
Harsha

Sorry, but I'm not familiar with Ubuntu. You might ask in their forum.

you might be able to download the patches required and patch your kernel up to match their build..
