Summary :
SAP Notes indicate compatibility issues for installations or startups on Linux systems with a 3.x kernel, affecting processes such as disp+work and jcontrol that verify the kernel version. These issues arise predominantly on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP2, which defaults to Linux 3.0. Solutions include applying an SAP kernel patch that extends compatibility to the 3.x kernels; specific patch levels depend on the SAP kernel version being used. Additionally, for the saposcol error, relevant SAP HOST AGENT patch levels are provided. Workarounds like the uname26 compatibility environment for SLES 11 SP2, are suggested for running older kernels without immediate upgrades.
Key words :
determine current linux kernel version --> exiting, checking linux kernel version number, uname26 compatitbility environment workaround, suse linux enterprise server, 'sp patch level' section, os release linux 3, sap kernel version, minimum patch level, minimum patch levels, distribution specific workarounds
