Patch installation problems

[Carter Jay]

Hello,

I've just installed patch PHCO_25424 with dep, with automated package created with create_depot_hp-ux_11, and I've got an error message at startup and have to look in /etc/rc.log (included file). I notice some errors (swap start...).
When i try to launch the "last "command, i've got the error message:
# last
Memory fault(coredump)

Thanks in advance for your help

Regards

Jerome

Hello Jerome

in your log there is another error.
while configuring all unconfigured software filesets
the system couldn't remove the follow:
Obsolete.NCSNCK,l=/,r=B.11.00,a=HP-UX_B.11.00_32/64,v=HP,fa=HP-UX_B.11.00_32/64

check this file:
/var/adm/sw/needs_remove
you can try to remove it manual and see what happened.

Hi Jerome:

The error for swap activation is due to the fact that you have added an entry (/dev/vg00/lvol2) for primary swap to '/etc/fstab'. Remove this entry. Primary swap was enabled during the execution of 'S100localmount' and then (as it should have been) during 'S500swap_start start'.

As for the 'last' abort (coredump). Your '/var/adm/wtmp' file is probably corrupt. Create a new empty file to repair the error:

# /dev/null > /var/adm/wtmp

Regards!
