11.23 kconfig assertion failure

[Venkatesan Ranganathan]

When I try to install patches that require kernel rebuilds, the installation gets suspended because get_sysfile fails. I tried to reproduce the error outside of the installation and the failure is in kconfig

# kconfig -e /tmp/get_sysfile.$$
KC ASSERTION FAILURE
Test: Call to tuneinfo2() from the BE.
File: /ux/core/cmnds/src/sysmgmt/kc/lib/compat/kc_compat_stubs.c

[HP ARIES32]: Core file for 32 bit PA-RISC application
[HP ARIES32]: /usr/sbin/kconfig saved to /dbt/venkatr/patches/kc_patches/core.kconfig.
Abort(coredump)


Is there any resolution for this problem. How to work around it?

Thanks in advance for the help

Where did you get this PA kconfig?
On an IPF 11.23 system this should be a native file and so Aries shouldn't be invoked.

I am not sure how it got installed (may be someone did a forced install of a wrong depot may be). I think some performance products were installed recently and probably they caused this older version. I will verify the installed software for problems.

Thanks for your help

On my system kconfig is part of these filesets:
OS-Core.KERN2-RUN: /usr/sbin/kconfig
PHCO_31569.KERN2-RUN: /usr/sbin/kconfig

And there are a bunch of patches, the latest is PHCO_38120.

Thanks you, restoring kconfig helped get past this issue
