I tried to install patch kit 5 on my DS20E running Tru64-UNIX v5.1 with
patch kit 3 installed and had a couple of problems.
1. After I had installed the kit I couldn't do a kernel build. I think the
problem was I had gnu make installed in place of the native make file. At
least I was able to build the kernel after I put the native make back in place.
2. When I tried to reboot the new kernel it would work fine until it tried
to switch to the gui and then it would fail and reboot.
I restored from backup to what the system was like before I installed the
patch kit. I could do a kernel build and reboot just fine then.
Any ideas what may be happening. I found nothing in the archives concerning
this and Compaq/HP weren't sure what happened either.
Thanks in advance,
