Dear All,

I am facing problem to rebuild the kernel. Can anyone help me regrading this issue.

Generating module: krm...
Compiling /stand/build/conf.c...
Loading the kernel...
ld: Invalid archive library format detected in /usr/conf/lib/libtd.a
Fatal error.
*** Error exit code 1

Stop.

Hi Masud and welcome to this forum!

In my opinion, in this case, is better using SAM.

Hi pg,

I tried in SAM 1st and to make sure i used cli. Both has same problem.

Thanks

oops...i beg your pardon..
so probably could be an issue with your
libtd.a (maybe regarding driver for Fibre Channel).
Some usefull info could be found on this forum with search word "libtd.a".

Hi ,
Is this happening after any change to kernel ,then check the value of that parameter or driver details. What about OS version and HW platform.These details would help us more in finding the cause.

Is this a 64 or 32 bit kernel?

You may want to do a swverify on your system to see if libtd.a changed. It might be faster to find the filesets that have libtd.a and then use swverify:
$ swlist -l file | fgrep /usr/conf/lib/libtd.a

What does file(1) say about that archive?

[MPAR]

It is 64 bit kernel.

This library file is related to FC HBA which is connected to the tape MSL 6030 and EVA 4000.

This problem still not resolve.

Thanks

Again, What does file(1) say about that archive?
You may have a 32 bit version?
Any obvious errors with:
$ /usr/ccs/bin/elfdump -a /usr/conf/lib/libtd.a

Hello,

This is the output.

# /usr/ccs/bin/elfdump -a /usr/conf/lib/libtd.a
Memory fault(coredump)

Thanks
Masud

[Dennis Handly]

# /usr/ccs/bin/elfdump -a /usr/conf/lib/libtd.a
Memory fault(coredump)

This implies this is either corrupted or not a 64 bit archive. What did swverify report?
# swverify FC-TACHYON-TL

In a temp directory, can you do:
ar -xv /usr/conf/lib/libtd.a
Then: file *
