 Posted: Sat Jan 25, 2003 4:13 pm Post subject: uname -r issue. |
 |
|
Hi... I posted on this previously, but still I haven't found an answer. The thing is, that I get following output when running uname:
| Code: |
# uname -r
2.4.19-gentoo-r7
|
but I'm using the kernel version 2.4.20-gentoo-r7 (I deleted the 2.4.19-gentoo-r7 kernel). I have made my symlink point to the correct position:
| Code: |
# ls -l
total 12
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 Jan 25 16:56 linux -> linux-2.4.20-gentoo-r1/
drwxr-xr-x 16 root root 4096 Jan 25 16:56 linux-2.4.19-gentoo-r10
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Nov 13 23:17 linux-2.4.19-gentoo-r9
drwxr-xr-x 16 root root 4096 Jan 25 16:55 linux-2.4.20-gentoo-r1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 Nov 9 14:30 linux.bak -> linux-2.4.19-gentoo-r9/
|
and I have a /boot/bzImage file from my newest compiled kernel (the 2.4.20)... And in the top of the 2.4.20 Makefile, there stands
| Code: |
SUBLEVEL = 20
EXTRAVERSION = -gentoo-r1
|
which should be the data that, when compiled, uname reads from!
The problem is causing (since lots of scripts uses uname) that I for instance can't use my modules, since they scripts look in the old r7 directory for the files (I tried and modify update-modules, but with no succes)...
What could be the reason that uname does this? - What I did when making my kernel was make dep && make clean && make bzImage && make modules && make modules_install. And the symlink was made with ln -sf ... - Is there something I've forgotten to do?

Did you | Code: | mount /boot
cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot |
? When you startup your computer, at the beginning the kernel version will be displayed.
Note: If you use lilo, you have to run "lilo" after copying the kernel image to /boot. |

yes... just copied the kernel into a library on /dev/hda3 called /boot  ... man ! - Thanks for the revelation!
