sixd, sixm, sixr and sixt already linked warning at startup

Timmy Sin — Sat, 29 Jun 2002 01:19:32 GMT

Hey Guys,

I newly installed a HP-UX 11.11 box with SNAplus2. The following warning messages were found at startup.

WARNING: modld: Module sixd, is already statically linked.
WARNING: modld: Module sixm, is already statically linked.
WARNING: modld: Module sixr, is already statically linked.
WARNING: modld: Module sixt, is already statically linked.

Grateful if someone can give me some idea on the messages and how to get rid of them.

Thanks,
Timmy Sin

Since these SNA modules have been statically linked you don't need them in /etc/loadmods ( the file that has all loadable modules). All you need to do is remove these drivers from that file and the error should go away. Make a copy of the file /etc/loadmods elsewhere then edit that file, delete all the six* drivers. Reboot to test.

S.K.,

Thanks. So it should be an error in SAM to add those entries in the /etc/loadmods.

I think if you look at samlog, it'll say something like "marking kernel module sixd as static". The problem is SAM still treats them as loadable modules and made a call to them anyway, hence the error. I can't remember what's the function call that SAM made. One thing you can do is give a call to HP respond center and see if they have any fix for this.
