Which compiled kernel has been used to boot system?
Hi dudes,
Sorry if this is a stupid old question, but I'm a newbie here and found nothing with search feature!
Consider there are some different compiled kernel modules in a Linux/FreeBSD system. By which command can I find that what kernel is used to boot the system?
which tells you some info, including the running kernel version. that means, if you have multiple compiled kernels and their version numbers differ, that tells you which one got booted. but if you have two with the same version (but with different filename), then I'm a bit unsure..
yeah, there probably is a better way, but this is a start
