getkinfo gives error

Hi,
I am getting following error when i rn /usr/sam/lbin/getkinfo -b -f /stand/vmunix

----------------------------------------------
getkinfo: Syntax error in system file.
Incorrect driver/subsystem statement(s): schgr, sctl, sdisk, sflop, stape

Each driver/subsystem shown above is not valid for one of the following reasons: The driver (including any aliases) is not recognized; there is no support for this driver in the kernel libraries; the driver is not supported; one or more dependency drivers for this driver are missing, not supported, or not included in the kernel libraries.

Be sure all kernel libraries from HP-UX product filesets are installed, and that the driver/subsystem names shown above are valid. Refer to the SAM logfile for more information.

getkinfo: Unable to read the kernel file "/stand/vmunix".
-----------------------------------------------

I tried removing schgr, sctl, sdisk, sflop, and stape and rebuilt the kernel. This time Now getkinfo did not give error. Then tried putting back and rebuilt the kernel and getinfo gives error.

We need sdisk and stape in the kernel.

Also same error i get in SAM when i try to access Disks and File Systems --> Disk Devices or any menu i access in Disks and File Systems.

Any suggestions??

Thanks

Re: getkinfo gives error

This is normally becuase of a currupted file or patch, associated with SAM or the Kernel modules. I would run an swverify against SAM patches and see if everything is right. Also, if you have installed a recent patch on the system check if it did something wrong. Is this a new system? If not, was this working properly before?
