Packaging 2.6.39 kernel also includes 3.5 kernel..! Why.?

Sudhangathan B S <sudhangathan@...>
 

I have asked this question in the Gumstix-Users mailing list before, but got no reply.. 
So just checking out here..!

Why does Yocto include 3.5.0/ kernel folder too in the lib/modules/ directory, while I have enabled 2.6.39 kernel recipe..?? I just extracted the file gumstix-console-image-overo-20130821225106.rootfs.tar.bz2 i  Now see there are two folders in the lib/modules/ directory namely "3.5.0/" and "2.6.39/" .

Should it be like that.. Or is there a confusion internally..??
Can I have an explanation please...?? How should I correct.?

When booting, on the console i don't see anything more than "Done booting the kernel..." The serial port set in the uboot env is ttyO2.. This is correct for 2.6.39 kernel..! Isn't it..?
