From release notes
4.1. Applications Not Recognizing Linux Kernel 3.0 as Valid
With SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 SP2 we introduce Linux Kernel 3.0. This kernel is a direct successor of the Linux kernel 2.6 series, thus all applications run without change. However, some applications or installation programs are broken and may check for version "2.6" literally, thus failing to accept the compatibility of our kernel.
We provide two mechanisms to encourage applications to recognize the kernel 3.0 in SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 SP2 as a Linux kernel 2.6 compatible system:
Use the uname26 command line tool, to start a single application in a 2.6 context. Usage is as easy as typing uname26 [PROGRAM] . More information can be found in the manpage of "setarch".
Some database systems and enterprise business applications expect processes and tasks run under a specific user name (not root). The Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM) stack in SUSE Linux Enterprise allows to put a user into a 2.6 context. To achieve this, please add the username to the file /etc/security/uname26.conf . For more information, see the manpage for "pam_unix2". Caveat: We do not support the "root" user to run in a 2.6 context.
If you are running SAP applications, have a look at SAP Note #1310037 for more information on running SAP applications within a Kernel 2.6 compatibility environment.
Known Issues
The current version of the LSI MegaCLI utility needs to be run with the uname26 personality using the "uname26" tool.
The current version of the IBM Online SAS/SATA Hard Disk Drive Update Program needs to be run with a uname26 personality.
