what is dirty kernel version
Hi,
I downloaded linux 2.6.26.3 and cross compiled for PXA. In this process I also updated the device specific drivers.
I booted my hardware and things are working fine.
But the boot message shows "dirty" next to kernel version. Why it says so?
Before I was using 2.6.11.7 kernel version and I did the same procedure as mentioned above but there is no "dirty".
Can anyone let me know the reason?
Below is part of kernel boot message.
