Description Reza Davoudi 2009-08-01 13:10:48 UTC
User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9.1.1) Gecko/20090715 Firefox/3.5.1 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)

when i updated me kernel from update repository to version 2.6.27.25-0.1.1 and run "uname -r" after reboot i get this version 2.6.27.23

i tries a fresh install and updated from original version to latest version from update repo i still get the wrong info by running uname -r (i still get 2.6.27.23)


i ask one other person that used the 32bit verion but they didnt have that problem so iguess it a bug in 64bit version of update package of kernel

this bug is (at list for me) critical cause it blockes the compiling of some apps (vbox services for example)



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.update the kernel to 2.6.27.25-0.1.1 in opensuse 11.1 x64
2.run "uname -r"

Expected Results:  
uname should say 2.6.27.25 not 2.6.27.23

Comment 3 Marcus Meissner 2009-08-02 17:10:38 UTC
looks like the kernel got intsalled just fine.

how do you boot the machine? with grub this should be setup fine
Comment 4 Reza Davoudi 2009-08-02 20:33:19 UTC
i boot it normally 
if u need i config file (like grub menu or something like that....i am a Linux expert) posted here, tell me so i do it.
and can u try this ( i dont have much hard drive or i would have tried it in vmware) install opensuse 11.1 x64 (32 seems to be fine) and update the kernel in update repo and then check its kernel this 'uname -r'?
Comment 5 Marcus Meissner 2009-08-03 09:42:47 UTC
well, i am updating the kernel regulary, and others too ... Yours is the first report I saw, so I suspect its confined to a bug related to your setup ;)

can you please post the /boot/grub/menu.lst ?

Hmm, lost track iof this bug ... is this still the case?

rpm -q kernel-default   ?

YOu are not using lilo by chance?
Comment 8 Reza Davoudi 2009-10-05 07:40:01 UTC
it seems to be fixed now
and i used the default boot loader (GRUB)
maybe the new kernel update fixed it somehow

~>rpm -q kernel-default
