Hi list,
maybe some kernel guru can shed a light on this.
Yesterday night I ran up2date for the new kernel patch on our dual
processor machine. Now, the System.map points to the new kernel map, I have
2 (!) entries for vmlinuz-2.4.18-17.7.xsmp, and module-info and vmlinuz are
still linked to 2.4.9.34.
ls -al /boot (edited for brevity sake) is included:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 27 Oct 21 23:54 System.map -> System.map-2.4.18-17.7.xsmp

-rw-r--r-- 1 13599 Jun 1 12:22 module-info-2.4.9-34smp
-rwxr-xr-x 1 3376633 Oct 8 19:02 vmlinux-2.4.18-17.7.xsmp
lrwxrwxrwx 1 16 Jun 7 12:11 vmlinuz -> vmlinuz-2.4.9-34
-rw-r--r-- 1 1154028 Oct 8 19:02 vmlinuz-2.4.18-17.7.xsmp
-rw-r--r-- 1 976110 Jun 1 12:31 vmlinuz-2.4.9-34
-rw-r--r-- 1 1050074 Jun 1 12:22 vmlinuz-2.4.9-34smp
I have some burning questions:
a) why is module-info still linked to 2.4.9.34?
b) why is vmlinuz still linked to 2.4.9.34?
c) why are both module-info and vmlinuz linked to the non-smp version of
the kernel, when up2date _knows_ that it is a dual processor machine?
d) why are there 2 (!!) versions for vmlinuz-2.4.18-17.7.xsmp?
e) why does /proc/version say
Linux version 2.4.18-17.7.xsmp
([EMAIL PROTECTED])
(gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.3 2.96-112))
#1 SMP Tue Oct 8 12:37:04 EDT 2002
f) should I relink module-info and vmlinuz to 2.4.18-17.7.xsmp and reboot
to get a "real" 2.4.18-17.7 SMP kernel?
Thx 4 insights,
