Cannot compile kernel

Vincent_5 — Fri, 25 May 2001 06:29:16 GMT

When Installing a patch on version 10.20 operating system, it prompt with the following error while complining the kernel .

Error in log file
/usr/ccs/bin/ld: (Warning) Linker features were used that may not be supported in futures releases ....

Stop.
config: make did an exit(1)
config failure
ERROR: The command "/usr/sbin/mk_kernel", which is used to rebuild
the kernel, has failed. Because kernel-related filesets were
installed, this command must be executed by "swinstall",
without failures, before the load can continue. Check the
above output for details about the failure.
NOTE: The Install Phase has suspended. Check the above output for
reasons.

Can anyone help ?????????

*Note trying to install Omnistorage software

Hello the above information you have provided is just a warning and should not cause the compilation to fail. Were there not other messages/errors before that were shown?

Vincent,

Can you check if you have another config script on the system?
It is possible that this script is called first.
Check with the following commands aswell:
This is what I have on a hp-ux 10.20 system:
# which config
/usr/sbin/config
# what `which config`
/usr/sbin/config:
$Revision: 78.3 $
# file `which config`
/usr/sbin/config: s800 shared executable dynamically linked

One thing I would run is:

swlist -l fileset -a state | grep -i installed

This will check if you have any filesets in an installed state. If you find any, run:

swconfig

Check /var/adm/sw/swagentd.log for any errors.

Cheers,

Joseph.
