swinstall fails at mk_kernel

[Michael Deely]

Trying to install QPK1100 (B.11.00.64.4). Getting the following failure/error in the swinstall.log file:


NOTE: Building a new kernel based on template file "/stand/system"

Stop.
make failure.
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.


Any ideas? Maybe need to restore /usr/conf/lib/liblvm.a?

Try to rebuild the kernel manually from the command line and see if that helps

# cd /stand/build
# /usr/lbin/sysadm/system_prep -s system
# mk_kernel -s system
# kmupdate
# mv /stand/system /stand/system.prev
# mv system ../
# cd /
# /usr/sbin/shutdown -r -y 0

Same thing:

<<>>> mk_kernel -s system

Sometimes this could possibly refer to a corrupt patch

# check_patches

and refer the /tmp/check_patches.report file

# swlist -l fileset -a state | grep -v configured | grep -v "^#"

Do you see any ouput ?

[Michael Deely]

from check_patches.report:

The following patch filesets are in the corrupt state:

PHSS_29646.OVOPC-SOL-CLT
PHSS_29767.OVOPC-LIN-CLT

Try removing the corrupt patches first. Since they are SubSystem Patches, I dont believe that would require a kernel rebuild.
