Out of memory error when re-gen the kernel during installing a new driver

[kenken_3]

Hi,

My server is a hpux 11.23 rx2620. When I try to install the driver for the fiber 10G lan card. It requires re-built the kernel to install that driver. However, I always encounter a error message like this

"Installing fileset "IXGBE-DRV.IXGBE-KRN,r=B.11.23.06" (1 of2).
* Building a new kernel for configuration 'import.config'...
Out of Memory. ERROR: The kernel build did not succeed: ld: exit 12
The arguments that were supplied to the linker are the linker are stored in file /stand/failure_ldargs.
ERROR: The command "/usr/sbin/mk_kernel", which is used to rebuild
the kernel, has failed. Because kernel-related filesets were
installed, this command must be executed by "swinstall",
without failures, before the load can continue. Check the
above output for details about the failure.
NOTE: The Install Phase has suspended. Check the above output for reasons."


Anyone has encounted similar problem before?

This indicates that the linker ran out of memory linking the kernel. What is maxdsiz and maxdsiz_64bit?

What version of ld do you have? You may have to get a later patch.

[Dennis Handly]

Since ld is a 64 bit executable you need to look at maxdsiz_64bit. Also you could be out of swapspace, so what is "swapinfo -tam"?

It is the value of maxdsiz_64bit. After I increased that value, it is ok already.

Thank you very much.
