CONFIG_LOCALVERSION="amdgpu" but I have to run this command in the terminal before updating the kernel and then updating or I have to put it elsewhere I don't understand ...

xilinder:
What is the full name of your custom kernel right now?

You can do, uname -r, in a terminal to find out.

MauryG5:
Hi Xilinder, you know that command, I actually use 3 hardisks, one with Ubuntu 19.10 and the other 2 with Fedora 31 on both. In one of the two Fedora I have the Kernel 5.4.0.2, downloaded and installed with the changes already made, in the other I have the modified one that I installed through the Wiki procedure and it is the 5.5.0.rc1 +
Now I have seen that Fedora is sending Kernel updates, they update often, they are very efficient in this, the last official Fedora Kernel that I have is 5.3.16 and I don't know if now we go to 5.3.17 in any case c 'and' this update to do and before doing it I would like to know how to not affect the 2 modified Kernels that I currently have in the 2 Fedora ...

xilinder:
@ MauryG5
Offiicel Fedora kernels are usually named 'vmlinux-5.5.0-.fc31.300-powerpc64le' or something like that.
Your custom kernel for the amdgpu fix should have a different complete name.
Please open a terminal and enter "uname -r" (without the quotes) and post it here for your fixed kernel(s).

The new kernels from Fedora should not overwrite your currently installed kernels, but they will add kernels to your GRUB selections for booting.

MauryG5:
Then the one modified with the patch on a hardisk is this: (5.4.0-2.fc32.ppc64le)
In the other Hardisk I have this: (5.5.0-rc1 + 31)
In the second it does not carry the ppc64le extension. Both are patched to run AMD's Navi 10 GPU in my case the RAdeon 5700 XT 50 th anniversary editon. Usually Fedora does what you say or adds a version of Kernel without touching the previous one and deletes only the older one but after 3 or 4 versions ahead. I just know that there are parts of the Kernel that are in common and I'm afraid that updating I have to change the modified Kernels for that I ask how to behave ... Merklot for example said that you have to carry out that little procedure CONFIG_LOCALVERSION = " amdgpu "but I don't understand what you mean, if you have to do it as a command in the terminal or otherwise ...
