** Description changed:
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

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.
Best regards,
Mihai Moldovan
