HP-UX Features
HP-UX Kernel Configuration Commands
Chapter 344
kmupdate (1M)
• A new option (-d) is added to remove a specified kernel and its
associated component set.
• This command was enhanced to initiate the process of creating and
populating the /stand/boot.KIS directory with all the links that are
necessary for the MFS boot loader to be able to find all the necessary
kernel components at boot time.
NOTE This implies that kmupdate is a required step in order to ensure the
successful boot of a newly generated kernel.
master (4)
A new section is added to the modular master file (see master (4)) to
describe the supported loading phases of a kernel module, which now
includes:
BOOT1 Module supports loading at phase 1 of boot sequence
BOOT2 Module supports loading at phase 2 of boot sequence
RUN Module supports loading at run time.
system (4)
A new section is added to the modular system file (see system (4)) to
tailor the planned loading phase of a module, which includes:
BOOT1 Valid if BOOT1 is a supported loading phase
BOOT2 Valid if BOOT2 is a supported loading phase
AUTO Auto-load or demand load. Valid if RUN is a supported
loading phase
INIT Load at init time. Valid if RUN is a supported loading
phase
