I thought the two different kernels referred to the two different streams that are used for updates/patches on the IBM developer website. The 2.6.5 is the older one that is delivered with SLES9 and the 2.6.23 is the newer kernel which is not yet delivered as the GA kernel version. I am not sure what kernel version is used for SLES10.
Am I correct on this Mark ? Alan replied: The first part of the version reported by uname is the base kernel version. So your uname is telling you your kernel is based on 2.6.5. This is much older then 2.6.23. The rest of the version reported by uname is specific to the distribution. -----Original Message----- From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Clark, Douglas Sent: Wednesday, October 24, 2007 12:48 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Linux kernel version. I am reading an article in the Oct 22, 2007 edition of InformationWeek titled "The Relentless Pace of Linux" on page 43. The article makes a reference to "Kernel 2.6.23" and I am trying to make some sense of that identification to what I am running. Regards, Terry L.
