Operating Systems Linux kernel 2.6.8-2-386 > 2.6.16 ??? Post 302076935 by System Shock on Friday 16th of June 2006 07:54:03 PM

kernel 2.6.8-2-386 > 2.6.16 ???

Is there anything I should know about kernel versions and how they are numbered?
I'm trying to compile ivtv drivers. When I run make, the first check is the kernel version. uname -r shows my kernel as 2.6.8-2-386, but I get the error:
ivtv-0.6.0 does NOT support kernels > 2.6.16!

Is this right? Is it that , say, after 2.6.19, the next version would be 2.6.2 (as in 20 without the zero?

I'm going to remove the kernel check and see what happens with my compile, but I'm curious to know if indeed that's how kernel versions are numbered.
