checking booted kernel

[itai weisman]

hi people,
does anyone know how can I check what kernel was loaded during last boot?
Itai

[Muthukumar_5]

grep Revision /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log

will give the kernel loaded. I hope looking at GSP logs or MP logs will give more details.

hth.

can't find it..
is there a way to find it with a command?

What abt # what /stand/vmunix ? It will give the info what you needed ?

[AwadheshPandey]

check ur syslog.log file
vi syslog.log
search :/stand
u will find the kernel there which was booted.

i can't find any lines containing 'stand' or Revision in my syslog file.
what /stand/vmunix won't help me - i'm trying to understand if I used 'vmunix' to boot (or other kernel file, vmunix.prev, for instance)
I do remeber I used adb once to find it, I just can't remember how...

Itai,

# echo boot_string/s | adb /stand/vmunix /dev/kmem
