Initialize loadable module

Frédéric Devos — Mon, 05 Feb 2001 13:57:53 GMT

We have created a standard system, installed & configured Ignite-UX and finally created a Bootable tape from the ignite server.

After the tape installation, we have the 'kminit' process which is failed!
"ERROR: Module registration failed"
The we tried to find the origin of the problem and we have found that the following command is failed :
--> kmmodreg
"Cannot register module 'krm':No such device or address.'

What is this problem ?

Thanks a lot helping us

Try running kmupdate and seeing if that cures the problem.

You'd need to do :-

cd /stand/build
mk_kernel -s ../system
kmupdate /stand/build/vmunix_test
shutdown -ry 0

What O/S are we talking .....

Check the image has :

EMS-KRMonitor.KRMON-DRV-DRV HP-UX_B.11.00_32 or
EMS-KRMonitor.KRMON-DRV-DRV HP-UX_B.11.00_64

or maybe both available for ignite purposes ?

Sorry I have forgot it,

we are working on a L1000 machine(64bits). 1 disk contains the ignite server and the second one is for testing purpose. Each time we are testing new tapes, we have to reboot the server (grrrrr).

Other information, we have installed the general release patches bundle from september.

I hope this informations will help us

Thanks

Is there anything in the /stand/mod_wk.d or /stand/build/mod_wk.d

Re: Initialize loadable module

Frédéric Devos — Tue, 06 Feb 2001 09:50:51 GMT

On the reference system from which the image were created :

The /stand/mod_wk.d does not exist

/stand/build/mod_wk.d contains a folder krm
There there is a file 'mod_conf.c' which contains :
#include "/usr/conf/h/mod_conf.h"
struct mod_conf_data krm_conf_data={
MCD_VERSION,
0
};

On the system installed from the tape:
The same data than above

Other information :
At the boot sequence, the following message appears :
"Warning: out of character major numbers
Couldn't install driver krm
gio_mod_drv_reg: gio_allocate_majors failed"

Not sure what the krm module is.

I'd recommend trying to create the ignite image without it.

You could try removing the file in the mod_mk.d directory (copy it to another directory), and then building a kernel using the method I mentioned earlier. Then create the new igniate image and install from it.

krm : kernel ressource monitor
If, via SAM, I include it (static) into the kernel it is working.
If, via SAM, I try to load it into the kernel it is not working.

The actual reference system is not which has been used to create the tape. I start again installing a new system and create a golden image again...

could try :-

kmsystem -c Y -S /stand/build/system dlkm

kmsystem -c Y -S /stand/build/system DlkmDrv

kmsystem -c Y -S /stand/build/system krm

Then do the kmupdate stuff.

Bad news !
We have first installed a standard system and then get the image. On this system, still no errors ! We decide to create a new tape and bad luck, again the same problem.

We have tried the kmsystem & kmupdate commands and nothing changes.

Have anybody an idea ?

Thanks helping us.

While installing from the tape, we get the following message :

ERROR : Cannot configure a dlkm driver
ERROR : "/var/adm/sw/products/EMS-KRMonitor/KRMON-RUN/iux_pogtconfig" failed, exit code was 1.
