Hi All,

Iam having terrible trouble adding a token ring card to my C3000 workstation on HP-UX 11.0.

I have installed the driver required A5783A however when i try to add the device pcitr in the device list i get the following error;

Cannot build a kernel using /usr/sbin/config

Stop.
config: make did an exit(1)
the command exitted with exitcode -71

this is also the case with any kernel modification attempt on both my C3000 workstations.

please help !!!!

Hi,

YOu should be seeing more errors. Can you post the output of the following?.

cp /stand/system /stand/system.110804
/usr/lbin/sysadm/system_prep -s /stand/system
cp /stand/system /stand/build/system
mk_kernel -o /stand/vmunix

It will only refresh your kernel if successful. If so, reboot and then try.

it seems the kernel parameter maxdsize is set to a low number .. which then prohibits me from changing any kernel parameters.

I need to know a way to change this value without trying to rebuild the kernel as it runs out of memory in the process.
