compiling 11i kernel throws errors

[Bill McNAMARA_1]

Hello,

After changing standard parameters via SAM, errors are thrown while generating the kernel.

MC OE + June 2002 patches installed.

Errors reported from conf.c for all tunables modified.

Kernel compiles from commandline when copying conf.SAM.c to conf.c, but on reboot params are reset to default.

Where to go from here.. or is there a patch?

Thanks,
Bill

Hi Bill

i dont think that it is a patch issue but a SAM issue .

i didnt remember that i saw this problem with 11i but i think that this doc will help you .

Check date of /stand/build/conf.SAM.o If it is not the current date and time,
then it will not be remade and it will have old parameters defined in it. This
can be caused by using SAM to change generate a new kernel and then changing the
date of the system backwards (e.g. during Y2K testing) and then using SAM again
to make a new kernel.

As /stand/build/conf.SAM.c contains the changes being attempted in SAM, and as
this file is older than the matching /stand/build/conf.SAM.c, the make process
does not think that it needs to recompile conf.SAM.c to create a new conf.SAM.o
file.

Summary: if conf.SAM.o is newer than conf.SAM.c, remove conf.SAM.o and then use
SAM to make the desired changs to the kernel paraeterrs and then createa a new
kernel.


also if you can send the error that you are getting .
