Kernel Compile Error

[Andrew Griffin]

I'm setting up a new box, and am changing a few kernel parameters. But when I try to compile the new kernel I get the following:

config: Device parameter count

The command exitted with exitcode -71

I've called hp support and they're trying to figure it out, but I thought one of you guys may have seen this before. Any ideas?

I've never seen this error before. I am not sure how you modified the kernel, I'm assuming you modified /stand/system. It's possible that there is a typo in the file. Have you tried using SAM to change your kernel parameters. Try using SAM, this way you can see what errors you get with each value.

Hi,
Please provide your kmtune output and the parameter you want to change.

Thanks,

Hi, Brian

#cp -p /stand/vmunix /stand/vmunix.org
#/stand/build/mk_kernel
system should now build the kernel without any errors( if error then there is problem in the existing kernel, which can be replaced from ignite backup)
#mv /stand/vmunix/vmunix_test /stand/vmunix
#reboot

Now modify the kernel parameters.

I still get the same error after trying to execute mk_kernel:

config: Device parameter count

I rebooted from the backup kernel, and tried again, and the same error occured. Would it be possible to copy a kernel from an identically configured N box and use that?
