usr/conf/master.d/core-hpux is missing

[George Mathew]

In my HP-UX 11.0 usr/conf/master.d/core-hpux is missing is missing.
What is this file used for?

One symptom what I am observing is
/usr/sbin/config -M mydriver failes with lot of warnings. Previoud step: kminstall -a mydriver - is success

Hi,

What kind of warnings do you get ?

This file is used for building/update a kernel.

So you better get this back on your system from backup.

This is a reference file. Attached is one from a HPUX 11 system.

Take care to get the right version restord. The file was patched by theese HP-UX 11.00 patches:

PHKL_24487
PHKL_22777
PHKL_20174
PHKL_21778
PHKL_18543

Assuming that PHKL_18543 is on your system, you could simply (re-)install PHKL_24487.

BTW, check how you remove core files from that system. This file is often a victim of such scripts. :-)
