[opensuse] kernel version mismatch
I've been running 11.1 for some time now without a hitch (mostly). After an update this morning I noticed a very odd issue. When I boot I have one selection for the 2.6.27.23 kernel. Once I log in and check uname it displays the old kernel. Any ideas how I can remedy this oddity? ~] uname -r 2.6.27.21-0.1-default ~] rpm -qa | grep kernel kernel-default-extra-2.6.27.23-0.1.1 kernel-default-base-2.6.27.23-0.1.1 linux-kernel-headers-2.6.27-2.28 kernel-syms-2.6.27.23-0.1.1 kernel-default-2.6.27.23-0.1.1 kernel-source-2.6.27.23-0.1.1 --Shawn -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Check /boot/grub/menu.lst for default boot option. It seems that it doesn't boot in the right one.

Rajko, The only time I've ever backed myself into a kernel version mismatch is by upgrading the kernel but forgetting to reboot. I'll bet Shawn backed himself into the same corner ;-) -- David C.

Reboot numerous times. Even reinstalled the kernel components ... and rebooted then too. Same problem. --Shawn -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I still don't know what the problem was but it has been resolved. I did the following: ] sudo rm -rf /lib/modules 2.6.27.21-0.1-* ] sudo rm /boot/grub/menu.lst.old* ] sudo zypper rm kernel-source kernel-syms kernel-default-extra ] sudo /sbin/reboot - After logging in I downloaded the kernel RPMs locally since I had previously tried it with zypper and it didn't fix anything. ] sudo rpm --force -Uvh kernel-* kernel-default-2.6.27.23-0.1.1.x86_64.rpm kernel-default-base-2.6.27.23-0.1.1.x86_64.rpm kernel-default-extra-2.6.27.23-0.1.1.x86_64.rpm kernel-source-2.6.27.23-0.1.1.x86_64.rpm kernel-syms-2.6.27.23-0.1.1.x86_64.rpm kernel-trace-2.6.27.23-0.1.1.x86_64.rpm kernel-trace-base-2.6.27.23-0.1.1.x86_64.rpm ] sudo /sbin/reboot Now everything is good-to-go. ] uname -r 2.6.27.23-0.1-default VMwareTools is also happy again. It was getting confused with the kernel versions too. --Shawn -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
