Is the box a Pentium4? If so, 8.0 detects an SMP and installs that kernel. Changing in YaST to the default is a breeze tho! Dylan On Monday 16 September 2002 19:44, Michael Fischer wrote:
Hi.
Odd problem. I just installed 8.0 on a machine (kernel hacking test machine). I set about testing some old modules I had around, just to see that the build env. was in order and found the following discrepency:
# insmod mod_hello.o mod_hello.o: kernel-module version mismatch mod_hello.o was compiled for kernel version 2.4.18-4GB while this kernel is version 2.4.18-64GB-SMP.
$ uname -r 2.4.18-64GB-SMP
$ less /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/.kversion 2.4.18-4GB
Ummmm.
What could be behind this discrepency, and what would be the recommended fix?
1) Change the symlink at /lib/modules/2.4.18-64GB-SMP/build? 2) change .kversion (seems rather unlikely) 3) something I haven't thought of yet
FWIW, the machine only has 512 RAM, so a 64GB enabled kernel is definitely overkill here :-)
Thanks.
