kernel rebuild ... unsatisfied symbols

[Omar Alvi_1]

Hi,

I created a bundle on tape containing the following patches for a customer.

PHCO_25418
PHCO_21187
PHCO_23651
PHKL_18543
PHKL_20016
PHKL_22589
PHKL_22677
PHKL_27980
PHKL_28766

I tested the tape on my local system while enabling the options of overwriting same revision.

After 94 % of the installation was complete, the swinstall was suspended with the following error message

Generating module: krm...
Compiling conf.c...

*** Error exit code 1

Stop.
config: make did an exit(1)

Wanted to know the analysis of this issue. I think i'll be able to restore my previous kernel.

Regards,

You reinstalled PHKL_18543. That is a BAD BAD thing to do and causes all kinds of problems. Take a look at the following knowledge base document, TKB DocId: KBRC00001601
