Can4t build a new kernel because it failed

[Jan Studsgaard_2]

I was trying to install the Workstation Quality Pack for HP/UX 10.20 september 2000, but it suddenly failed.
I have attached the error messages from the swagent.log file.
Can anyone tell me how I solv that problem.
Yours sincerely

Did you try loading these apps using swinstall? The error message is pointing to that. I also saw the ld error; it possibly could be corrupt. Try getting it from another workstation and retry. Best of luck.

What did you mean with apps?

You Workstation Quality Pack; sorry for the confusion.

Hi

The kernel cannot be built and the system cannot be re-booted because
the HP-UX library (/usr/conf/lib/libhp-ux.a) is "buggy" after
swremoving patches from the system. One of the patches may have been
PHKL_16750/1.

This issue is based on changes in PHKL_16750/1 which
require another patch to be installed: [PHKL_19755/PACHRDME/English] or
PHKL_19756. However, PHKL_19755/6 is
not referenced as dependency patch for PHKL_16750/1
in the text file of PHKL_16750/1!
But PHKL_19755/6 names PHKL_16750/1 as dependency patch.

Perform the following steps to resolve the problem:

1. swremove PHKL_19755/6 --> this rebuilds the kernel

2. swinstall PHKL_16750/1 w/ reinstall existing filesets option

3. swinstall PHKL_19755/6 w/ reinstall existing filesets option
and deselect autoselect dependencies
option


please reply if it will not work for you , i handle the same case few month ago and this solve the problem .

Oh? now I get.
I install the Workstation Quality Pack from the swinstall program. I don?t thing I understand you question, because I all ways using swinstaller.

Thangs Eran,
I can?t remove the patch PHKL_19755, because it not install, but I think you right. It must be something like this.

Hi Jan

yep, i m preaty sure that the problem is patch PHCO_16750 or PHCO_16751 .

in all the cases that i found with this error the are talking about this patch .

16750 - for workstation
16751 - for server .

i m now makimg the bundle of the patches and dep. of this patch , so tell me if you need more help .

this is a issue of installing kernel patches and from exp. 1 from 25 of installing of the kernel patches there is a problem with the ld error .

it will be nice if you did a ignite backup of the system but i m sure that there is something with this patch .

one more thing , i know that you dont have the
patch PHKL_19755/6 install because this is doing the problem .

also you need to install it with swinstall ( like you did )

I appologize for my failure to help you on this. I obviously assumed too much in my analysis. Hats off to you, eran; you seem to have hit the nail on the head. I hope to be able to help you in the future, if required.

Good luck and hopefully your problem is solved.

Regards,
Chris

To Eran,
First off all, thanks for helping me.
I didn?t have time yesterday to verify if it solve the problem, but I will try it as soon as possible.
