Kernel version question: showrev != uname
2007-12-24 20:16:00
This is probably very simple, but I have never seen or noticed this before.
Can someone explain why showrev says:
beowulf:72:/opt> showrev
Hostname: beowulf
Hostid: xxxxxxxx
Release: 5.5.1
Kernel architecture: sun4m
Application architecture: sparc
Hardware provider: Sun_Microsystems
Domain:
Kernel version: SunOS 5.5.1 Generic 103640-35 December 2000
beowulf:73:/opt> uname -a
SunOS beowulf 5.5.1 Generic_103640-36 sun4m sparc SUNW,SPARCstation-20
beowulf:74:/opt>
Showrev says the kernel is 103640-35
while uname -a displays 103640-36
Why would these be different, or what could cause this? Is this just
accounting and not really something to be concerned with? It is 5.5.1,
afterall.
Thanks,
Ken
