mk_kernel errors HP-UX 11.00

[Ronwin Leibbrandt]

I get the following errors when trying to build a new kernel on HP-UX 11.00. Does anyone know the cause of this problem? Thanks.

The WARNINGS are not too much to worry about - entries for drivers in your /stand/system file which you dont have, you should remove them just to cleanup. eg. PCItoPCI - never heard of that one, probably should be GSCtoPCI. The others can be removed (cb, pa_psm etc.)

The nasty error is your Unsatisfied symbols - this is really tough to fix. The best hope is have you just added some software or patches recently and now your kernel wont build ? if so then try to backout or undo what you did (you can swremove patches if youve just tried to install some), then your kernel should build.

if not then its a long job to fix. Theres been some really good long discussions on how to fix them - search the ITRCP forums for "kernel build failed" and you should find them - theyre too long to repeat here.

They are parameters for subsystems you don't have. Edit /stand/system and remove them (or at least comment them out).

You should at least load the patch PHKL_19291 (ie mk_kernel patch) so that mk_kernel is more robust and knows how to deal with this "intelligently". I noticed however on all my 11.0 system I have those drivers (PCItoPCI,cb,pa_generic_psm,pa_psm) in /stand/system and it does not give me any error when I recompile my kernel. If the patch doesn't help, then you'll have to delete those drivers from the "system" file before you compile your kernel. I do not know what's the impact of doing that though.

Where did you get the /stand/system file that you are using? Did you have copy it from a different class (i.e. k class or n class) of machine than you are trying to build on? If you used ignite to load the system, then the ignite kernel image may be for a different class of machine.

If either are true, it would explain why the subsystem entries in the system file are not working on your system. They probably don't make sense for the hardware.

I recommend cold installing so that the proper subsystems are loaded.
