kcmodule fails

[Mauro Gatti]

Hi all,
when I'm tring to include in my kernel tape2 driver on server running HP-UX 11.23(PA-RISC) I've got this error:

# /usr/sbin/kcmodule -h -B tape2=static
* The automatic 'backup' configuration has been updated.
* Building a new kernel for configuration 'nextboot'...
ld: Unsatisfied protected symbol "tape2_install" in file "/usr/conf/lib/libsio.a[tape2.modmeta.o]"
1 errors.
ERROR: The kernel build did not succeed: ld: exit 1
The arguments that were supplied to the linker are the linker
are stored in file /stand/failure_ldargs.
NOTE: Due to the above failures, all changes that were being held
pending for next boot have been lost. The system will now
default to using the currently running configuration at next
boot.

Could you help me?

Thank You

Hi,

I was wondering to know using tape2 device driver for a tape drive on a 11.23 platform as I know on all recent platform "stape" driver is used for tape drives for the respetive bus ( c720 etc. )
Tape2 was used with some old buses like EISA, HPPB.

The following document has made it confirmed. Since there is no support for those old buses in 11.23 , tape2 driver inclusion in the kernel won't work.
