The kernel /inside/ the kernel source RPM is versioned 2.6.32.36-0.5, and the source directory reflects this:</p> <div class="code panel" style="border-width: 1px;"><div class="codeContent panelContent"> <pre class="code-java">/<span class="code-keyword">var</span>/lib/jenkins/workspace/lustre-reviews/arch/x86_64/build_type/client/distro/sles11/ib_stack/inkernel/BUILD/reused/usr/src/linux-2.6.32.36-0.5 </pre> </div></div> <p>This mismatch plays merry havoc with lbuild's ability to find the RPMs it needs to build lustre. It also seems to have caused confusion over on the provisioning side of things (TT-468).</p> <p>Ideally, all of our code which deals with SLES kernels should be updated to deal with this crazy situation, because if it happened once it may happen again (who knows, it's SLES, maybe they always do it this way because ... it's SLES). As a simple workaround, we could try to find a kernel which doesn't have this ridiculous mismatch and standardize on it.</p> LU-1272

lbuild-sles11 and kernel versioning

Bug Minor Resolved Fixed WC Triage Michael MacDonald Fri, 30 Mar 2012 09:59:12 +0000 Mon, 29 May 2017 04:11:44 +0000 Mon, 29 May 2017 04:11:44 +0000 0 2 <p>There is code in lbuild already to try to deal with this. It was landed in 16d51ff27b719f8ba31b18e64d9878843266fa8c. That patch only dealt with the SRPM however. It seems now that SUSE are now also playing games with the names of the binary RPMs that are produced from that SRPM.</p> <p>I've also created <a href="https://jira.whamcloud.com/browse/LU-1273" title="lbuild-sles11 and self-service capabilities" class="issue-link" data-issue-key="LU-1273"><del>LU-1273</del></a> to describe an enhancement to lbuild-sles11 which would allow it to download kernel packages automatically rather than requiring manual intervention. This comment should also serve as a breadcrumb for someone looking to find out how to get at SLES kernel packages.</p> Development Rank 1|hzw293: Rank (Obsolete) 10447 Severity
