failed to rebuild kernel

이상봉_2 — Wed, 21 Feb 2007 04:34:40 GMT

I'm using Hp-ux 11.11
I tried to extend stack size(maxssize, maxssize_64bix) in the kernel using SAM. But errors were occured. I dont know Why the kernel dont allow to extend stack size.
What should I do?

I append error massage below.

**** Cannot build a kernel using /usr/sbin/config. The standard output of the command is shown below:
Usage: bstab input_data symbol_cnt strtbl_size kernel_file

make: *** [vmunix_test] Error 1
config: make did an exit(2)
The command exitted with exitcode -71. ****

Hi,
and welcome to the forums !

How much memory do you have on the machine?

What are you kernel values for:
maxssize
maxssize_64bit

You can't set stack size higher than maxssize(_64bit).
You also have to fit everthing with memory restriction.

This may have nothing to do with your error but why did you want to increase maxssiz? (And to what value?) Do you have Fortran applications?

Increasing maxssiz will decrease maxdsiz, if it is at or over the hardware max.
