Install patch PHSS_28436 11i linker (ld) patch
or later version.

Sorry, install later patch. This patch is the
one that gives this error message. Install then
PHSS_28871 for 11i systems.

[Steven E. Protter]

Sounds like the patch will probably work.

Do you have a recent backup of the kernel configuration files? Be prepared to back up to the last set that worked for you.

Jimmy,
Obviously we can't help you with system backup :). Anyway, I guess it's about ld patch issue.
When SEP said 'backup' it was more like
the usual thing sysadmin does. Anyway,you can
remove the current ld patch (check with 'swlist -l product | grep ld').If it's PHSS_28436 - remove it. Another idea is to install PHSS_28871 that doesn't have this problem.
You can allways run make_tape_recovery before all changes to save your current system.

Hi

Do you have phss_28436 on your box.

If so replace it with phss_28771 as shown or remove it from the system and add the newer patch later.( If you backed up the previous level when installing the patch)


or install this
From patch description PHKL_29243:

On systems running vPars, installing the linker patch [PHSS_28436/PACHRDME/English] introduces behavior that causes kernel rebuildsto fail. Kernel rebuilds are required when installingkernel software or patches. The following error is
reported -

# mk_kernel -s /stand/system
Generating module: krm...
Compiling /stand/build/conf.c...
Loading the kernel...
ld: Cannot build a shared library in a
static (-noshared) link Fatal error.
*** Error exit code 1
Stop.
config: make did an exit(1)

That should definately fix it.
