5 Make a copy of the existing kernel (default name vmunix).

6 Regenerate the kernel with mk_kernel, using the edited system file as input.

mk_kernel creates the new hp-ux kernel (the default is

/stand/build/vmunnix_test). There are two examples below. The first creates a

new kernel in the build directory called vmunix_test. The second example

automatically moves the kernel to the /stand directory and makes a backup if the

file, /stand/vmunix, already exists.

mk_kernel

mk_kernel -s /stand/system -o /stand/vmunix

7 If you did not use the -o option with the mk_kernel command, copy the new

kernel to /stand/vmunix.

8 Reboot the new kernel. If the new kernel fails to boot, boot the system from the

backup kernel and repeat the process of creating a new kernel. To do so, follow

the instructions in your System Administration manual.
