- uname -a i?86
- Posted by Christoph Kukulies on December 8th, 2003
What does it mean when I get a i?86 in uname -a. It seems that
rpmbuild fails on this because it says there were no support
for architecture i?86. (linux kernel 2.2.17)

It sounds as though uname -a can't identify your system architecture for
some reason. I get:
Linux dougshost.mydomain.org.au 2.4.21-0.13mdk #1 Fri Mar 14 15:08:06 EST
2003 i686 unknown unknown GNU/Linux

I'm not sure that a move from kernel 2.4.21 to kernel 2.2.25 can be
considered to be an "upgrade", but I guess you have to use what ever works.

You may have missed that I was using a 2.2.17 kernel, so moving to
2.2.25 *is* an upgrade. :-)
