adding stape driver to kernel using SAM - error 2331

u856100 — Fri, 31 Jan 2003 11:15:41 GMT

Hi all,

I have a 1533A DDS2 tape drive that I am trying to add to a HP9000 712/100 workstation.

I have done so previously without any problems, but for some reason I am getting the message :

....
Cannot build a kernel using /usr/sbin/config

sh: 2331 Memory fault (coredump)

stop.
Config make did an exit(1)
.....

I also had the error code 2179 when attempting to add the driver without having the tape drive connected.

any help would be much appreciated,

thanks
John

The POSIX shell reports "Memory Fault" when its child died after receiving SIGSEGV (Segmentation violation). The number is not an error number, it's simply the PID of the child.

You should try to find the core dump and look at it using the "file" command (file core). This should show you what command actually crashed.

You can also cd to /stand/build and run "mk_kernel" manually. When the problem happens again you should find the core in /stand/build also.

Best regards...
