Subject: Everything works...but just to push my luck

Ok ok so everything works  perfectly with my current Kernel version (2.2.5-22)
and now just to push my luck I want to upgrade to 2.2.13.

So I install the kernel and the headers....in a temp dir. I make the kernel and
boot and everything works great. Of course I have backed up everything of my
previous kernel

Now...I see that in the /lib/modules/2.2.13/misc/ there is a pt_drv.o module
generated by the make that I did to the kernel.

Ok...so far so good. Now I go back to the sane and recompile everything
according to the instructions and I now see in the /lib/modules/misc this time
there is a pt_drv.o as well.

No when I do make load it gives me an error and when I do modprobe pt_drv it
says that the pt_drv was compiled for kernel 2.2.5-22 (my previous kernel)
How come???? even when I put the path insmod  /lib/modules/2.2.13/misc/ pt_drv.o
or insmod  /lib/modules/misc/ pt_drv.o it says the same message.

Why? What can I do. Ok ok so it is not realy crucial to update my kernel but it
would be helpful to know for future reference whats going on?



Thanx guys
