Table B-2 Known Install Problems
Problem Description/Action
“Kernel size is very
large” Warning During
Cold-Install
During a cold-install, the following warning message may
appear in your swagent.log:
WARNING: Kernel size is very large. The kernel may
not boot or may show decreased performance in small
memory systems.
Actual kernel size: 33118076 bytes
* Build_Kernel: Complete
* Boot_From_Client_Disk: Begin
* Rebooting machine as expected.
Please disregard the above warning, the check for the kernel
size limit incorrectly uses the 32 MB value instead of the 64
MB value supported on HP-UX 11i v1. PHKL_27447 will
correctly set the kernel size limit that gets checked during the
creation of new HP-UX 11i v1 kernels.
Known issues with OE
Media Install Tools and
Network Depots
The Ignite-UX install tool on the OE media supports the use
of network depots. However, network depots must match the
media depots for the choices in the install tool to work
properly.
The Ignite-UX documentation also explains the setup and use
of network depots without using the OE media for each
installation. See the following web site for information on the
Ignite-UX product:
