I posted this in the ubuntu forums as well, since in this case, it's a question "across distros" since I'd love to find a general linux command, not just something ubuntu specific.
##
I'm currently using a triple boot system on my netbook between WinXP, lucid, and arch, and I'm trying to work out my grub entries (which I update from lucid). Here's what I have for my ubuntu menu entry, just the text:
Code:
menuentry "Ubuntu Linux 10.04, $(uname -r)" {
How would I use a command like this to echo the kernel version of arch, which is installed on a different partition? This prints out in grub2, by the way:
Ubuntu Linux 10.04, 2.6.32-22-generic
Is there a way to set the "root directory" of uname -r to a different partition with a flag? I couldn't find one in the man page but maybe I missed it.
##
Does anyone here know of any linux command that will help? This is grub2, by the way.

uname dont print a installed kernel, its print the version of running kernel. You need to get the info from the fs. e.g from /var/lib/pacman/local/kernel26-2.6.34-1/desc or from /usr/src or /lib/modules all depend if you use the official arch kernel, or others
