Kernel changes using SAM

[Ian Warner]

Running 11i, and trying to change the flocks parameter.
I get the following error
Cannot build a kernel using /usr/sbin/config. The standard output of
the command is shown below:

Stop.
config: make did an exit(1)

The command exitted with exitcode -71.

Any ideas/comments on what is going wrong?

Hi Ian,

Try the latest sam patch.

http://www4.itrc.hp.com/service/cki/patchDocDisplay.do?patchId=PHCO_31312

Hope this helps,
Robert-Jan

Hi Ian,

Can you post here the result of:

#bdf

And do you have PHCO_28123 installed?

Best Regards,

Eric Antunes

[Stephen Keane]

Are there no futher clues in the SAM log?

[Ian Warner]

I have patches
PHCO_30275 -> 1.0 ugm cumulative patch
PHCO_31312 -> 1.0 cumulative SAM patch

The result of the ddf is
bdf

The sam log is as follows

/stand/build/system.SAM.
* Executing the following command:
cd /stand/build; /usr/sbin/config -c conf.SAM.c -l \
config.SAM.mk /stand/build/system.SAM

Lets eliminate the kernel as a problem.

Try doing the kernel command line.

#cd /stand
#cp vmunix vmunix.old
#cp system system.old
#cd build

#this is the changed line.
#/usr/lbin/sysadm/system_prep -s system

Edit system file and make changes here as per ur require ment. Imeand addition/Deletion of devices. Then
#mk_kernel -s system
For more information see the man page of mk_kernel

Now one new kernel will be created in /stand/build directory. Copy this to original location
#cd /stand/build
#cp vmunix_test /stand/vmunix
#cp system /stand

I think you will still get the error, but now you will know where to look.

What happens if you try and rebuild the kernel yourself, without using SAM.

cd /stand/build

/usr/sbin/config -c conf.SAM.c -l \ config.SAM.mk /stand/build/system.SAM

It may be that SAM is losing some interesting output?

[Ian Warner]

sh /stand/build=> -l \ config.SAM.mk /stand/build/system.SAM <

That's better, some clue as to what is wrong. Have you read

It looks similar to your problem.

Hi,

Check also this thread about this specifics 11i parameters:

[Stephen Keane]

You may need PHKL_29899

if /usr/conf/master.d/stape (an ascii) file contains st_ats_safe instead of st_san_safe. You can grep it to check.

[Florian Heigl (new acc)]

Maybe remove/add the stape driver from /stand/system and see if the unresolved symbol dissapears.

[Ian Warner]

All the info seemed to point to bad/missing patches. The system is now patched up to the eyeballs, HP patch assesment says all patches are installed and I get exactly the same error!!

The bad patches mentioned are not on the system (as far as I can tell), so.... any ideas?

Ian Warner

[Stephen Keane]

Does /usr/conf/master.d/stape file contain st_ats_safe instead of
st_san_safe ?

[Robert-Jan Goossens]

Ian,

Check this doc.

[Eric Antunes]

And how about space in /stand logical volume?

Please post here the output of the bdf command...

Best Regards,

Eric Antunes

[Ian Warner]

/usr/conf/master.d/stape contains st_san_safe

[Stephen Keane]

Just to be clear, if you try and rebuild the kernel using SAM you get the problem, but when you installed patches (specifically PHKL types) that rebuild the kernel, you didn't get a error?

[Ian Warner]

ouput of the bdf is
Filesystem kbytes used avail %used Mounted on
/dev/vg00/lvol1 295024 121384 144136 46% /stand


If i cd /stand/build, then
/usr/sbin/config -c conf.SAM.c -l \ config.SAM.mk /stand/build/system.SAM

i still get
Generating module: krm...
Loading the kernel...
ld: Unsatisfied symbol "st_san_safe" in file /usr/conf/lib/libio.a[mt_prop.o]
ld: Unsatisfied symbol "bcvmap_size_factor" in file /usr/conf/lib/libfs-pdk.a[uf
s_mchdep.o]
2 errors.
*** Error exit code 1

So nothing seems to have changed!!!!

Ian

[Eric Antunes]

Hi,

What value have your st_san_safe parameter? Set it to 0 and try to process the kernel again...

[Ian Warner]

Does this make sense?

sh /stand/build=> cat /usr/conf/master.d/stape | grep st_
*range st_ats_enabled>=0
*range st_ats_enabled<=1
*range st_large_recs>=0
*range st_large_recs<=1
*range st_fail_overruns>=0
*range st_fail_overruns<=1
*range st_san_safe>=0
*range st_san_safe<=1
st_ats_enabled ST_ATS_ENABLED 0
st_large_recs ST_LARGE_RECS 0
st_fail_overruns ST_FAIL_OVERRUNS 0
st_san_safe ST_SAN_SAFE 0

[Stephen Keane]

Have you tried rebuilding the kernel using SAM, rather than

/usr/sbin/config -c conf.SAM.c -l \ config.SAM.mk /stand/build/system.SAM

Then, if there is still an error, do

/usr/sbin/config -c conf.SAM.c -l \ config.SAM.mk /stand/build/system.SAM

[Ian Warner]

Yup,
tried to build it in SAM, then used the command line to confirm the error(s).

[Eric Antunes]

Hi,

Post the output of:

kmtune -lq st_san_safe

kmtune -lq bcvmap_size_factor

[Stephen Keane]

If you look at /stand/build/config.mk, you should see a line indicating the patch level

e.g.

##@(#) config.sys $Date: 2003/06/13 06:23:05 $Revision: r11.11/7 PATCH_11.11 (PH
KL_29243)


What does yours say?
