Kernel Build Fails on
64-bit Install
On J2240 workstations having an SCSI floppy drive,
cold-installing 64-bit OS will fail during the kernel build with
an “unsatisfied symbols” error.
Edit the /stand/system file to delete the floppy driver:
• In the shell provided, use vi to edit the /stand/system
file:
vi /stand/system
• Delete the line: sflop
• Press
Cntl D to close the window.
The install process should now rebuild the kernel and
complete successfully. The SCSI floppy drive will be
non-operational, and is not supported on this system with
64-bit HP-UX 11i OS.
