Hi -

I've been having trouble trying to build a kernel on our new AlphaStation
200 4/233, which came with factory installed software. When I tried to build
the kernel with the config file that came with the system I got this:

 *** WARNING ***
 An error has occurred during system configuration. A partial listing
 of the error log file (./errs) follows:

 env - COMP_HOST_ROOT=/ COMP_TARGET_ROOT=/ /bin/cc -std0 -EL -I -I. -I.. -I../inc
 lude -DIDENT=ZUAXP9 -DDEC2100_A50 -DSWAPTYPE=1 -DUERF -DOSF -DCOMPAT_43 -DMACH -
 DUFS -DFFM_FS -DKERNEL -D_KERNEL -D_BSD -no_excpt -c ../arch/alpha/genassym.c
 env - COMP_HOST_ROOT=/ COMP_TARGET_ROOT=/ /bin/cc -std0 -EL -non_shared -o genas
 sym genassym.o
 ./genassym > assym.s
 Make: Don't know how to make data/lsm_data.c. Stop.

Noting the reference to data/lsm_data.c - I'd deleted the LSM software subsets
when we first got the machine - I checked the config file and found two lines
referring to "lsm":

 pseudo-device lsm 1
 pseudo-device lsm_ted 0

so I deleted these and tried to build the kernel again. This time it lasted
longer than before but still failed:

 *** WARNING ***
 An error has occurred during system configuration. A partial listing
 of the error log file (./errs) follows:
 
 cc -c -O2 -DLANGUAGE_C -g3 -G 4 -I -I. -I.. -I../include -DIDENT=ZUAXP9 -DDEc
 sh ../conf/newvers.sh ../conf/copyright `cat ../conf/version.type ../conf/ve"
 cc -I -I. -I.. -I../include -DIDENT=ZUAXP9 -DDEC2100_A50 -DSWAPTYPE=1 -DUERF -Dc
 rm -f vmunix vmunix.sys
 loading vmunix.sys
 ld:
 Can't open: bs_bmt_util.o (No such file or directory)
 *** Exit 1 (ignored)
 chmod 755 a.out
 chmod: a.out: No such file or directory
 *** Exit 4
 Stop.

Finally, I've run "sizer" and used the config file that that generated to try
to build a new kernel and got this:

 *** WARNING ***
 An error has occurred during system configuration. A partial listing
 of the error log file (./errs) follows:

 cc -c -O2 -DLANGUAGE_C -g3 -G 4 -I -I. -I.. -I../include -DIDENT=ZUAXP9 -DDEc
 sh ../conf/newvers.sh ../conf/copyright `cat ../conf/version.type ../conf/ve"
 cc -I -I. -I.. -I../include -DIDENT=ZUAXP9 -DDEC2100_A50 -DSWAPTYPE=1 -DUERF -Dc
 rm -f vmunix vmunix.sys
 loading vmunix.sys
 ld:
 param.o compressed: cam_ccb_pool_size: multiply defined
 param.o compressed: cam_ccb_low_water: multiply defined
 param.o compressed: cam_ccb_increment: multiply defined
 *** Exit 1 (ignored)
 chmod 755 a.out
 chmod: a.out: No such file or directory
 *** Exit 4
 Stop.

Of the software subsets that I deleted the only ones that refer to "Kernel
Build" are the LSM Kernel Objects and the Polycenter ADVFS Kernel Objects
but these have been deleted on all our other machines and the kernels build
fine.

I've also run doconfig and selected the kernel options "by hand" but that
fails with the cam_ccb errors, and I've tried doing a "make clean" in the
/usr/sys/HOSTNAME to clear out old object files related to any deleted
software subsets. No luck there either.

Anybody got any ideas as to what's going on or what I've done wrong ?
