(Original question at end)
This list is sort of like God answering prayers.
Thanks to:
SHEILA FRANKLIN, and
MARTIN MOORE (gave a detailed explanation of why it causes failure)
who identified the problem as /dev/null being a regular file rather than
a special file. Corrected that, and the original kernel rebuilt
smoothly.
Also thanks to
DAN PETERS
for the piece of code (below) from ALAN DAVIS to identify possible
causes for rebuild failures. It's slick & gave me a few more things to
do!
---------------- cut here --------------
#!/bin/sh
cd /
for i in `ls /usr/.smdb./*.lk`
# ^ is a back-tick
do
x=`basename $i`
# ^ is an eye
i=`echo ${x} | cut -f1 -d'.'`
# ^ is a one
echo ${i}
/usr/lbin/fverify -n ${1} < /usr/.smdb./${i}.inv
# ^ is an el
done
---------- end -------------
Original question:
Hello all... I'm on an alpha 3000/800 running du 3.2c and am attempting
to rebuild the kernel on this box for the first time (ping patch). I've
learned to my dismay that I cannot even rebuild the existing kernel and
don't really now where to start to track down the problem. Any answers
would be thankfully received (WILLING TO SACRIFICE ELDEST CHILD). See
below errors from doconfig -c SYSNAME:
