uname output

[xtc1980]

Hello,

I have a question. My kernel compiles have always been fine but one thing that I have a question about is the following :

Linux [SYSNAME] 2.6.7 #5 SMP Thu Jul 15 07:12:40 BST 2004 i686 unknown unknown GNU/Linux

Why does it report unknown unknown GNU/Linux

What can I do to try and resolve that from occuring ?

[stathisx]

what do you type?uname -a?

[Muser]

the two unknowns should display your:
processor
hardware platform

uname --help output and my uname -a output

[ian@localhost ian]$ uname -a
Linux localhost 2.6.8.1-10mdksmp #1 SMP Wed Sep 8 16:41:52 CEST 2004 i686 Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 2.00GHz unknown GNU/Linux
