Error in Kernel Rebuild

[Harinath N]

Hi,

In one of our HPUX 10.20 box, the NETWORKED FILE SYSTEMS item was not appearing in Sam under Networking and Communications menu.

We thought of removing and adding the NFS/9000 Subsystem from Kernel Configuration. While doing so, the Kernel rebuild was giving the following error :


Cannot build a kernel using /usr/sbin/mk_kernel. The standard output
of the command is shown below:
/usr/ccs/bin/ld: Unsatisfied symbols:
fss_cap_state (data)
minfree (data)
maxqueuetime (data)
kern_vm_scan_rate (data)
large_ncargs_enabled (data)
desfree (data)
lotsfree (data)
kern_vm_pct (data)
/usr/ccs/bin/ld: (Warning) Long Branch Stub inserted for "BL
$call_trap,0" in /usr/conf/lib/libhp-ux.a(asm_rv.o). Stub kills r1
(possibly incorrect).

Stop.
config: make did an exit(1)

The command exitted with exitcode -71.

The NFS server and client part are working properly in the system, only thing we are not able to access it through Sam.
Please help out in resolving the Kernel rebuild error and also getting the NFS menu in Sam.


Thanks and Regards,
N.Harinath.

Hi,
#cp -p /stand/vmunix /stand/vmunix.prev
#vi /stand/system
in this file check for the components
nfs_client
nfs_core
nfs_server
nfsm
if doesn't exist add these components(anywhere in the file)
#rm /stand/build/vmunix_test
#mk_kernel -s /stand/system
A file by name vmunix_test will be created under /stand/build
# rm /stand/vmunix
#cp /stand/build/vmunix_test /stand/vmunix
#reboot
now you could see the NFS component in the SAM

Hi Ravi,

Thanks for your response.
As you had mentioned, those nfs components can be placed only in HPUX box running 11.00. When I treid to rebuild the kernel manually, again the same error is coming.
