For kernel versions, what does the last number mean?


For exapmle.


2.2.16-22  Where does to 22 come from?


I'm using 2.2.12-20 on RRH 6.0 and had problems rebuilding 2.2.12 with some patches.  I dowloaded 2.2.12 from ftp.kernel.org and I do not want to rebuild

all my modules.  the modules reside in /lib/modules/2.2.12-20  Is there anything I need to do to make sure the version '20' is on my kernel?

Thanks,
Chris
