Kernel tuning: SAM builds an unbootable kernel image
I am trying to configure a 'boat load' of semaphore undo structures, (inc. per process: semmns, semmnu, semume). When I tune semmnu and semume to near (or at) their maximum configurable values, SAM manages to build the kernel with no warning(s) or error(s), but when I refer to the system console, the system has hung booting the new kernel, (it never gets as far as relocating pdc pages--which I use as an early indicator of kernel image rebuild success on my system).
Questions:
1. Why can't I build a bootable kernel with these parameters set at their maximum values
2. What can I look for in any logs to indicate/preempt an unbootable kernel
3. Can anyone point me to an online guide for compiling the kernel *manually*, i.e. without SAM (but still allowing me to GUI configure the kernel, just not go through with the build/move new kernel steps)
Background:
I have two L-class server (4x440MHz, 4GB memory) machines. MQSeries is complaining of not enough resources trying to do a semop. I am trying to configure my machines to allow more semaphore resources. I will try in the meantime to reduce the number of semaphore resources to see if I break earlier.
Many Thanks for any replies.

I hope that you find it to be useful.
Good Luck,

Re: Kernel tuning: SAM builds an unbootable kernel image
commands. SAM is however, typically going to make sure that your system is bootable after recompilation by ensuring values stay within a supported/recommended range. Backup your current kernel to /stand/vmunix.back before you build it manually just so you'll be able to reboot from ISL off the backup kernel should something go wrong.
kmtune for example to tune the kernel
kmupdate and kminstall to install it.
mk_kernel to build it.
Later,
