Public bug reported: Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,
when helping a user installing OSS 4.0, "cesium" (Yair K.) and "Taladel" noticed, that the Linux Kernel build system produced modules with a different vermagic than the currently running (stock) Linux Kernel issues via uname -r. If you want to dig into this problem, here is the thread: http://www .4front-tech.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2792 Today I have seen another user asking for help because the OSS installation would not work and after bypassing the version check of Kernel modules and the Linux Kernel itself, everything was working fine in the end. This user does, as well, use Ubuntu 8.04. Developing interest in this issue, I started my virtual machine running Ubuntu and could not find anything weird, /usr/src/linux/include/linux/utsrelease.h was indeed looking fine. However, after running "make prepare", the content of this very important file changed from "#define UTS_RELEASE "2.6.24-16-generic"" to "#define UTS_RELEASE "2.6.24.3"", as already observed by various users. I had a look at the Makefile and was able to find the faulty file: include/config/kernel.release. Instead of "2.6.24-19-generic", it contained "2.6.24.3". After that I compared the file from linux-headers-2.6.24-16-generic and the current one. It turned out, that 2.6.24-16-generic is fine (the content of include/config/kernel.release is the same as the output of "uname -r".) I suspect somebody has just forgotten to update that file, however, I would really like to see this bug fixed soon, hence it is no big deal doing so. I hope Ubuntu will get rid of this bug pretty soon and I have not caused great inconvenience. If there are still any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.
