can't build kernel

[EL HARTI, Hicham]

Hi,

I'm trying to build a new kernel at node2 on a cluster system (2 nodes Tru64 Unix: node1: V5.1! node2: P5.1A, DEC ES45) because of sizer -z ==> P5.1A (and not V5.1A).

I run: config -c node2 and get the following error:

==============================================
***PERFORMING KERNEL BUILD ***
Configuration file has errors
./alpha/file.hal: Duplicate file OPTIONS/bparm
Error: Module bparm already exists
=========================================================

The listing files on the directory /usr/sys/conf/node2/alpha is:
rwxr-xr-x 2 root system 8192 Dec 29 15:47 .
drwxr-xr-x 4 root system 8192 Dec 29 15:52 ..

=====================

Do you have any idea to make buiding kernel possible

[EL HARTI, Hicham]

Some corrections:
node1: sizer -v ==> V5.1A
node2: sizer -v ==> P5.1A

To build the kernel I run:
doconfig -c NODE2

[Johan Brusche]

Since you told me your have tried upgrading from V5.1A to V5.1B, it looks like NODE2 is your lead member. The .Old.. files for the other member NODE1 are there (so you ran clu_upgrade setup), but the new files file.hal and file.io do NOT seem to be there, so where did your installupdate fail ? or haven't you run installupdate yet ?

clu_upgrade status ?

BTW if you booted NODE2 from genvmunix. it's normal that it shows P5.1A

The result of clu_upgrade status is:

After preinstall stage I couldn't run intallupdate with the error:

You must have one of the following versions of the Operating System product loaded on your system before you can update to Compaq Computer Corporation Tru64 UNIX V5.1B:

Compaq Tru64 UNIX V5.1A

Please refer to the Compaq Computer Corporation Tru64 UNIX V5.1B Installation Guide for additional information.

Returning system to Pre-Update state...done.

Exiting Update Installation...
===============================================================
Then I started the installation of PatchKit3, and I think after the patch installation The system became instable.

Hicham,

Some patches were probably rejected for installation due to
module conflits. In kit #3 OSFPAT00084600520 provides a new
"files.hal",dated 13-may-2002, but you do not have that file.
You have a "file.hal.old", so where is the original ?

Did you run a baseline adjustment ? If not, run it and resolve any
unknown/missing file conflicts, then run a kit#3 install again
and make sure no patches were rejected due to conflicts.

Regards,
Johan.
