kernel level
Which file does redhat read the kernel version from when running "uname
-r"?
[root@localhost]# uname -r
2.4.21-32.EL
Can I edit a file and get linux to treat as if it has 2.4.21-32.0.1.EL
without installing 0.1 patch?
Many thanks.

Re: kernel level
May I ask you why do you want to change it?
If for loading binary kernel module, changing "uname -r" output won't help, instead you can run "insmod" with "-f" parameter.

Re: kernel level
Thanks for replying.
I tried to edit /proc/version but it did not allow me to edit it even though I changed the permissions.
I want to install a software which asks a strict kernel level while installing. There is a binary file for installing and I can not edit this file due to it is a binary file. I think there is condition in that file checking the exact kernel level it needs. That's why I need to do that. I do not want to install redhat patch because there are also some other softwares running on this level. What I want to do is to cheat my application temporarily, install the software, and rename the kernel level back to its original.
Regards.

Re: kernel level
echo "2.4.21-32.0.1.EL"
You should mv original "uname" binary to same place for backup and put instead "uname" script.
Let's see if this enough!

Re: kernel level
I do agree with the earlier comments about proprietry binary only drivers. They are the bane of my life at the moment and my advice would be to choose hardware and manufacturers that don't do this.
This wouldn't have anytghing to do with Promise and/or Fujitsu-Siemens hardware would it?

Re: kernel level
--nodeps
Don't do a dependency check before installing or upgrading a package
The associated s/w may not work as expected.(YMMV)
Thanks,
