Variables And Parameters - Novell ZENWORKS LINUX MANAGEMENT 7.2 IR2 - ADMINISTRATION GUIDE 09-25-2008 Administration Manual

The following steps modify the uname command to provide the value you need:
1 To obtain your current kernel version, enter:
uname -r
Write down the version number so you can use it in
15-smp from a SLES 9 SP2 installation.
2 To create a new directory, enter:
mkdir /bin/orig
3 To move the uname binary to the /bin/orig directory that you just created, enter:
mv /bin/uname /bin/orig/uname
4 Use a Linux editor (such as vi) to create the /bin/uname file that contains the following
lines:
#!/bin/sh
#uname
if [ $KRNLVERSION"a" = "a" ] ; then
if [ $(/bin/orig/uname -r) = "2.6.13-15-smp" ] ; then
export KRNLVERSION=2.6.13-15-smp
else
export KRNLVERSION=2.4.31
fi
fi
if [ $1"a" = "-ra" ] ; then
echo $KRNLVERSION
else
/bin/orig/uname $*
fi
IMPORTANT: Replace the strings "2.6.13-15-smp" with the version you found in Step 1.
5 To make the new uname command script executable, enter:
chmod +x /bin/uname
6 Enter the following to cause the uname -r command to return a specific version, such as
when compiling a module:
export KRNLVERSION="2.6.5-7.191"
7 Following the manufacturer's directions, compile the module using the appropriate make
command.
8 Reset uname so that it returns actual values:
unset KRNLVERSION
