Hi *,
I'm the lucky guy to migrate serveral company servers to virtual machines. I decided to use OpenVZ and Proxmox (Debian with 2.6.24-7-pve kernel) as a base machine.
One of the servers to be virtualized is the bookeeping system, an old Suse Linux 6.3.
I succeded is so far as I can boot the virtual server and log onto it with putty.
The installed bookkeeping software posts the next problem: it seems to retrieve the os version for it's check whether it is legally installed. I think it uses "uname -r" to retrieve the os version, at least it is bitching about an "unknown OS version 26247pve" - which is the kernel version of my VM host.
Now, is there a way to force the VM to answer with the old kernel version?
old machine:
Welcome msg Welcome to SuSE Linux 6.3 (i386) - Kernel 2.2.13 (pts/1).
hostname dh6
uname -a Linux dh6 2.2.13 #1 Mon Nov 8 15:51:29 CET 1999 i686 unknown
uname -r 2.2.13
new machine:
hostname dhsrv08
uname -a Linux dhsrv08 2.6.24-7-pve #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Jun 2 08:00:29 CEST 2009 x86_64 unknown
uname -r 2.6.24-7-pve
Kind regards,
Joachim
