ioctl: Function is not available

Hrvoje Dubravica — Wed, 09 Oct 2002 11:00:14 GMT

Hi, when I issue
sysdef command I have output
ioctl: Function is not available

I think it is problem with DLKM.
Can I resolve it with:
cd /stand/build
/usr/lbin/sysadm/system_prep -s system
mk_kernal -s system
kmupdate /stand/build/vmunix_test
shutdown -ry now

or it is something more complicated?

Best regards,

Hrvoje

Hi, Hrvoje!

Your approach assumes that the problem is the result of DLKM being uninitialized.

You can easily check this:

# echo mod_initialized/D | /usr/bin/adb /stand/vmunix /dev/kmem
mod_initialized:
mod_initialized: 1

If adb reports "0" then the procedure should apply to your problem.

Dietmar.

Thank you Dietmar,

echo mod_initialized/D | /usr/bin/adb /stand/vmunix /dev/kmem
Error from elf64_getehdr(application core file)
Not an Elf file: No Elf header
mod_initialized:
mod_initialized: 0

So, it obviously mean that I should use
procedure:
cd /stand/build
/usr/lbin/sysadm/system_prep -s system
mk_kernal -s system
kmupdate /stand/build/vmunix_test
shutdown -ry now

to solve this problem.

Thank you again, 10 points are your now :-))

Best regards,

Hrvoje

Please, take my apologize.
