error during kernel's creation

[maurizio_6]

Hi,
when i run sam, for kernel configuration or when i run the km_kernel command, the system give me this error:


Generating module: krm...
Compiling conf.c...
Generating module: emcp...
Generating module: mp...
Generating module: cg...
Generating module: pn...
Loading the kernel...
Generating kernel symbol table...
Usage: bstab input_data symbol_cnt strtbl_size kernel_file output_file
*** Error exit code 1

Stop.
config: make did an exit(1)

What the meaning for it?

Regards
Maurizio

Looks more like a HP-UX kernel compile here (as I don't recognise any of those names from my linux experience).

Try over at the HP-UX System Administration forum (http://forums.itrc.hp.com/cm/CategoryHome/1,,156,00.html)

Maurizio,

Just a wild guess, as I unfortunatly don't have an HP-UX system available to test that, but have you edited your kernel parameters by hand or with SAM? Some parameters are dependant on others. SAM warns you if you modify a parameter so that another one runs into trouble (or did it even force you to choose a sane value...? can't remember, too long ago), but if you edit things by hand, you might have struck something like that.

But again, just a guess...

Good luck!

Can you post your exact steps?

It does sound like you've tried to edit the system file by hand. The other possibility is that you have a duff patch installed on your system (though that usually results in unsatisfied symbol errors).

If you edited by hand, go back through the manual kernel rebuild steps and try again (that's probably safer than trying to re-edit your file in case you have unseen control chars in there).

If not, try checking to see if you have some unconfigured patches.
