I have the most recent mk_kernel patches, PHKL_15687 and PHKL_19291. I've tried both in SAM and on command line. In addition, I've tried different systems files. And I tried the windows approach and rebooted. =\ Any suggestions?

Hi Charles

The Unsatisfied symbol kernel build failure occurred because the
/etc/conf/master.d/ipsec-isu file is physically ordered before the
net file in the /usr/conf/master.d directory.

The solution is to change the order in which the libraries are
specified within the ipsec-isu file.

This is an excerpt from the current ipsec_isu file:

117 * Note: libhp-ux.a must be the last entry, do not place anything
after it.
118 *
119 * Library
120 *
121 libauth.a 0 <-- Move this line after line 123 libencdom.a
122 libencint.a 0
123 libencdom.a 0
124 libvvipsec.a 0
125 $$$

Before performing a system backup, modify /usr/conf/master.d/ipsec-isu
in the following manner:

* Note: libhp-ux.a must be the last entry, do not place anything
* after it.
*
* Library
*
libencint.a 0
libencdom.a 0
libvvipsec.a 0
libauth.a 0
$$$

Note that libauth.a has been moved to the last position. The 'key'
to solving the Unsatisfied symbol failure is to make sure libauth.a
is ordered below libencdom.a.

Thanks so much! That was the fix! I had to call HP on that one =P
