gvid_info module error-kernel compilation.

[RAC_1]

I am getting this error on rx2600, 11.23 with may 2005 patch bundles.

I check for graphics card and it is claimed in ioscan. The device file /dev/gvid and /dev/gvid0

Error messages is as follows. (error messages crops up when kcmodule is run or through kcweb)

ERROR: Unable to extract kernel module information from
/usr/conf/mod/gvid_info: kc_meta_process_object: error code 3

Check your permission on gvid_info and the other files, then try with strings gvid_info...

Only for curiosity

Alex,

Everything looks fine. Same as your post. Perms ok. Strings does not show anything useful.

RAC,
can I see the following outputs?

kcmodule -a -v
kclog -a
( particulary for the gvid part )

thanks,
Alex

Rac,
seems that your gvid_info module has been unloaded...
try to reload it:

kcmodule gvid_info=loaded
