kernel fails to rebuild

[JOHN TURNER_2]

hi all

im having trouble trying to rebuild my kernel, i have tried to change kernel parameters and also install hp patches that needed the kernel to be rebuilt, however it fails on both accounts when trying to rebuild the kernel. I have tried through sam and through command line and both methods fail

[melvyn burnard]

the exact failure messages and OS version would help here

[A. Clay Stephenson]

Without error messages, it's not possible to be of much help. It could be something as simple as insufficient space in the /stand filesystem but I would prefer to see some of your error messages rather than trying to use The Force to diagnose your problem.

[Mridul Shrivastava]

I came across some issues when it was not rebuilding kernel because of some linker patches not available.
May we have details what activity you are doing which requires kernel rebuild and what is the error it gives which will help to give you the correct solution.

[JOHN TURNER_2]

the error msg, when i try to rebuild the kernel thorugh sam is:

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.

Shalom,

You may want to restore /stand Seems you are missing a few files.

What is the OS?

unams -a

[melvyn burnard]

there should be more details than that, check your log files

[JOHN TURNER_2]

this is the full error when i try to manually compile the new kernel

It sounds as if some patches were loaded, but not all prerequisites for those patches were loaded.

What patches did you try to install?

[A. Clay Stephenson]

My best guess is that you are missing /usr/conf/lib/libinet.a and libnet.a or have old versions of these libraries.

This typically happens when a PHKL_ or PHNE_ patch is installed and fails and the problem is not immediately corrected. I would also make certain that that I have a kernel (e.g. /stand/vmunix.SAFE) in addition to simply vmunix.prev.

You should examine the .log files under /var/adm/sw in order to find the patch install that failed.

[melvyn burnard]

seems like there are networking patches missing.
PHNE_28089, superseded by PHNE_34135 which also has dependencies

[Mridul Shrivastava · Accepted solution]

May be there are some dependency patches missing.I would recommend you to run patch assessment ( please find below the procedure for the same):


1) open the page ==> http://www1.itrc.hp.com/service/patch/assessSystemsPage.do?BC=main|
2) click on "select a system to assess or upload new system information"
3) Download the script "swainv ". Right click on this and save to the system
4) Transfer this file to the HP-UX system. If ftp is used, then select binary mode of transfer.
5) Go to the directory in HP-UX system where the script "swainv " is loaded and give the executable permission by using the command " chmod 700 swainv "
6) Execute the script as " ./swainv "
7) This will generate a file called "inventory.xml" in current directory.
8) Transfer the file to the system which has got access to ITRC site.
9) Use the above link " http://www1.itrc.hp.com/service/patch/assessSystemsPage.do?BC=main " again and upload the "inventory.xml" to ITRC by clicking "submit".
10) click on " display candidate patches". The site will give the recommendations.
11) click on "create assessment report". This will give consolidated report.
12) Check at the line " Patches recommended by InstalledPatchAnalyzer (summary)" for recommendations.
