vmunix: WARNING: modadm: DLKM is not initialized

[Thomas Greig]

In my syslog-file I get alot of messages saying:
May 8 11:01:42 aviemore vmunix: WARNING: modpath: DLKM is not initialized
May 8 11:01:42 aviemore vmunix: WARNING: modadm: DLKM is not initialized

When installing patches from hp-ux, the system will not come up and I have to go back to the previous kernel version.

First I thought it could be a disk-problem,
system: hp-ux 11i
Visualize C3600

in STM I got 200 errors on the disk.
Disks: SEAGATEST318408LW (attatched is raw logfile from stm)

All external devices has been disconnected from the system now.

best regards

Normally this error indicates that the current version of the kernel does not match the current version of the symbol table symtab in /stand/dlkm.

This can be verified with the following command:

echo mod_initialized/D | adb -k /stand/vmunix /dev/mem

You can resolve this issue by using 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

Note: Do not use reboot.


Hope this helps,

Marco

well, actually first try to check your patches ..:

#swlist -l fileset -a state

Is everything is ok, then you need to re-build your kernel ...

Best regards,

Thank you for your prompt answers.
unfortunately the system will not boot when a new kernel is generated.

I have already tried the "kmupdate" and rebooted the system with the new kernel. This results in a hang and that I have to replace the new kernel with the previous one.

Its tempting to reinstall the system but I was hoping there would be another alternative.

The "#swlist -l fileset -a state" gave all "configured" in reply.
