Hi Team,

I have upgraded suse 11.1 to suse 11.3 but actual kernel name should be kernel-default-3.0.101-0.47.52.1 but uname -r prints like below.
Could you please check and revert below.

sl01407:~ # rpm -qa ker*
kernel-default-base-3.0.101-0.47.52.1

This is just a mismatch between rpm version/release and the kernel.
I.E. coreutils is just reporting what the kernel is telling it,
or more specifically what is returned from uname(2).

I presume /proc/sys/kernel/osrelease has the same value?

thanks,
Pádraig.
