Kernel Build Fails

Matthew Pegge_1 — Thu, 27 Mar 2003 10:29:44 GMT

I'm trying to rebuild a HPUX 11 system. I've built the new system a D class from CD. And done a full restore from the old system (also a D class) excluding all the files such as /etc/lvmtab etc..
When I try and create a new kernel combining the two system files I get the error as below:

gbaheu29:/ # mk_kernel -s /stand/system -o /stand/vmunix
WARNING: No such device, tunable, or cdio pa.
Ignoring the following line.
pa

/usr/ccs/bin/ld: Unsatisfied symbols:
func0_install (first referenced in /stand/build/conf.o) (code)
*** Error exit code 1

Stop.
config: make did an exit(1)

HELP!!!!

If so reinstall it otherwise install it.

Does

swlist -l fileset -a state|grep -v configured

The only time I've seen something like this is when the system is at a different patch level. The kernel is trying to reference a symbol which does not appear in a header file . The particular problem I experienced was due to patches not being applied properly (some obscure issue somewhere preventing a header file from being updated).

Did you ensure that the systems were at the same patch level before you did the restore? You mention that you excluded a whole bunch of stuff - that could be significant as you may have excluded patched files if you hadn't
