 Posted: Mon Jan 08, 2024 2:02 pm Post subject: Kernel being seen as an older version. |
 |
|
Basically,i updated my distribution kernel to 6.1.69 but programs like neofetch are still picking the kernel up as 6.1.67 and even the TTY login thinks i'm on 6.1.67. However, when i run "eselect kernel list" or simply go on the kernel's configuration it clearly says 6.1.69. How can i fix this issue?

Are you sure you actually booted 6.1.69? What do
| Code: | $ uname -r
$ cat /proc/version |
print? |

"eselect kernel set X" will only change the softlink /usr/src/linux - it will not do anything else ! 
What you need is another grub-mkconfig:

Turns out i was in fact on the wrong kernel (6.1.67) after running uname -r!
I just ran grub-mkconfig again, maybe the newly generated configuration won't gave me this this issue!

grub-mkconfig will print the kernel image(s) found. Pay attention to the output, you should see your 6.1.69 kernel in the list. On my system:
| Code: | Generating grub configuration file ...
Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-6.6.10-gentoo-custom
[..]
Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-6.1.67-gentoo-custom |
