sysdef

Hi there,

When I run sysdef , I get "ioctl: Function is not available". Anyone know what's wrong ?

Thanks

Lai

Re: sysdef

Lai: this has happened to many others, did you search the forum archives? Here is your answer (in all likelihood)


The current version of the kernel doesn't match the current version of the symbol table symtab in /stand/dlkm. This can result if kmupdate is not run after building a new kernel. To fix your problem use the following procedure:

1. cd /stand/build
2. /usr/lbin/sysadm/system_prep -s system
3. mk_kernel -s ./system
4. kmupdate /stand/build/vmunix_test
5. shutdown -r 0 (don't use reboot.)
