hello Admins

While doing mk_kernel i am getting this error.

run:

# unset LDOPTS
# mk_kernel ...

see reference:

http://archives.neohapsis.com/archives/hp/2002-q4/0067.html

This problem was caused by the environment parameter LDOPTS
that was defined with a "-s" included. This will strip the
symbols of the executable and produce the error described
above.

To correct this problem, unset LDOPTS before doing a
mk_kernel(1M). For example:

# unset LDOPTS

# mk_kernel
Generating module: krm...
Compiling /stand/build/conf.c...
Loading the kernel...
Generating kernel symbol table...

Which OS version? Are you up to date on kernel patches? From errors, it difficult to understand. Also check if you have any problems in configuring the modules or not.

Hello George,

>> I cannot install any patches unless i get mk_kernel to work

It depends. PHSS_35383 itself does not require mk_kernel.

Thanks

Hello George,

However if you face issue installing PHSS_35383, most likely PHSS_35383 dependency - PHKL_29243 (or newer) is not installed.

In this case, try Older OS Linker Patch (no dependency):
PHSS_33035 s700_800 11.11 ld(1) and linker tools cumulative patch

Thanks

Can you check to see of CCOPTS is exported, unset that too.
Can you find the location of bstab?

>TY 007: most likely PHSS_35383 dependency - PHKL_29243 (or newer) is not installed.

If this is an issue, you can ignore this dependency with:
-x enforce_dependencies=false
(Especially if you don't have vpars.)

Try to ensure PHKL_29243 would be installed "later" after mk_kernel is OK :)

PHSS_33033 s700_800 11.11 ld(1) and linker tools cumulative patch

>> the issue was resolved by reinstalling PHSS_33033

Glad to hear this :)

Should consider to load in Latest OS Linker Patch in short future:
PHSS_35383 s700_800 11.11 ld(1) and linker tools cumulative patch

Thanks
