Kernel build failed

[unixspice]

Hello,

I'm trying to apply a Feature pack 0606 to a RX1600 running 11.23. I get the following error message:

Building a new kernel for configuration 'import.config'... ld: Unsatisfied protected symbol "simApiGateCpu" in file "/usr/conf/lib/libsvc-pdk.a[idle_hook.o]" 1 errors.
ERROR: The kernel build did not succeed: ld: exit 1
The arguments that were supplied to the linker are the linker
are stored in file /stand/failure_ldargs. 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.


How do I get out of this mess ?

a) provide the procedure that you used.

b) note the path of the feature pack and run this command:

swinstall -d path.feature.pack

[unixspice]

I tried to use "SAM>SD-UX>Install Software to Local Host" to install the depot "FEATURE11i_B.11.23.0606.046a.depot".

The analysis phased finished with the usual mention of certain features to be installed etc. The last step was the kernel rebuild with a message saying that the machine would automatically reboot afetr completion. During the kernel rebuild it came up with this message "The task has suspended on the target 'blah:/' For moer info or why the task suspended, press the 'logfile' button. To unsuspend, you must either press the 'abort' button to quit or fix the problem and press the 'resume' button to continure". At this point i looked at the logfile (1st post above) - and have left it in this screen till I can work out what to do. I'm thinking that if the machine reboots it may not come up correctly.

What does "swinstall -d" do, it doesn't appear to be documented.

swinstall -d @ /tmp/patches (or feature pack) verifies the depot is OK for installation. Are you mounting a cdrom or dvdrom?

Did you upgrade from 11.11 to 11.23?

Do an ioscan -fnC tape2, post the results and refer to this thread:

The above thread refers to deleting the tape2 driver from the kernal and also patch PHKL_33969 which is a 11.23 tape patch.

s700_800 11.23 SCSI Tape (stape) cumulative


( SR:8606413437 CR:JAGaf73298 )
When upgrading from HPUX 11.11 to 11.23, the user
encounters the following error when building the
new 11.23 kernel:
ld: Unsatisfied protected symbol "tape2_install" in
file "/usr/conf/lib/libsio.a

Here are PHKL_33969 dependencies, PHKL_31500, PHKL_34094.

You can check for these patches with this command:

swlist -l fileset | grep -i 33969

[unixspice]

It was an 11.23 initial install so no upgrade. The Feature pack was downloaded from the hp website.

There's no local tape drives on the system.

It's complaining about:

ld: Unsatisfied protected symbol "simApiGateCpu" in file "/usr/conf/lib/libsvc-pdk.a[idle_hook.o]"

-So not sure if that's related to a tape drive.

Ok, here we go: PHKL_34928

PHKL_34433 fails to install correctly if PHKL_31500 is not
also installed. When this occurs, the following messages
will be displayed in the /var/adm/sw/swagent.log file when
the installation fails:


Unsatisfied protected symbol "simApiGateCpu" in file "/usr/conf/lib/libsvc-pdk.a[idle_hook.o]"
