[opensuse-security] Kernel Update for 11.1

Maybe you are booting from another grub. Check /var/log/boot.msg - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

The timestamp is the one from the opensuse 11.1 update kernel, however the 2.6.11.4-20a-default seems to come from somewhere else. Does anything change the "uname" of your machine?

AFAIK nothing changes the name of the machine. Togan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-security+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-security+help@opensuse.org

I think Marcus was referring to the gyrations one sometimes has to perform in order to compile stuff which uses the uname command to get the kernel version, but misinterprets the result(?) What do you get from which uname Does it report something else if you use the full path? What's under /lib/modules? /jon -- YMMV -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-security+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-security+help@opensuse.org

What do you get from

right. But what about this:
Does it report something else if you use the full path?
If 'uname' is (for example) an alias in bashrc it might return something other than the system's /bin/uname does.
What's under /lib/modules?

<snip> hmmm... I just checked download.opensuse.org and AFAICT the kernel shipped with 11.1 was kernel-default-2.6.27.7-9.1.i586.rpm Where do all those old directories come from?

Yep, until today all the updates worked with no problems at all Togan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-security+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-security+help@opensuse.org

I would recommend double checking your menu.lst. I have updated 2 11.1 machines with the kernel update, and the update to menu.lst was screwed on both. Luckily, I learned on the first one (my local laptop), so I made a backup of the menu.lst before updating the server I am maintaining remotely. On my local machine, it left me at a grub screen as it changed which disk was the boot disk, as well as screwed up entries. I would make sure if you have the mentioned kernel present in /lib/modules, and double check the hd entries in menu.lst. For example, my boot partition is (hd1,1), but after the update it was set to (hd0,1). HTH, and good to see you on the list again. :-) -- Joe Morris Registered Linux user 231871 running openSUSE 11.1 x86_64 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-security+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-security+help@opensuse.org

I have already checked the menu.lst which was fine. But I'll recheck the grub to see if I can find something else

I have 5 servers waiting to be updated, they need to wait.
