about kernel version

[elife]

Hi Dan,
  I downloaded the full kernel source
kernel-2.6.18-20061213.1.olpc.23ec7ff48b3b2fd.src.rpm and build the two
kernel modules sucessfule over it. It's strange that build over
kernel-devel-2.6.18-1.2824.olpc1.i586.rpm failed as metioned in previous
post.

Best Regards!
