Failed at creating a new kernel

[Matteo Pignoni]

Hi,
I have to modify a tunable parameter (maxusers) but the SAM return this error:

---------------------
Cannot build a kernel using /usr/sbin/config. The standard output of the command is shown below:
Parameter Current Dyn Planned
Module Version
config: line not within a table boundary
The command exitted with exitcode -71.
---------------------

I saw that the /stand/build/tune.h is empty.
There is a way for restore this file?

(HP-UX 11.11)

Thank you
Matteo

Does system_prep work?

You may have set a kernel parameter outside certain hard limits of the OS.

What parameters did you change? Consider backing them off one at a time until you find the one thats causing problems. Or start over and check that you can compile a kernel after each parameter change.

Matteo,

Try this link:

I have found it to be a life saver in the past :)

Problem Description

I am receiving the following error when rebuilding the kernel:

ERR: HPUX (:0)/stand/vmunix config: line not within a table boundary

How do I correct this?

Configuration Info

Operating System - HP-UX
Version - 10.01
Hardware System - K400

Solution

Look for anything irregular in the /usr/conf/master.d directory. Once you
correct it, the mk_kernel should work correctly.

Steven,
I've tried to modify some kernel parameter or add a driver to kernel and nothing is changed.
In /stand/build i have this files:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root sys 0 Mar 14 15:07 conf.SAM.c
-rw-r--r-- 1 root sys 342784 Mar 14 13:15 conf.SAM.o
-rw-r--r-- 1 root sys 95987 Nov 20 14:10 conf.c

-rw-r--r-- 1 root sys 11608 Nov 20 14:10 what_vers.o

Every time I try to compile a new kernel the files conf.SAM.c - config.SAM.mk - tune.h are empty
