Manually Installing and Configuring HP-UX LANDRAFT COPY
Creating a New Kernel

b. Depending on which filesets you have loaded, you may also need to add the following
keywords to the system file:
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/vmunix_test).
mk_kernel
In this example a new kernel is created in the build directory called vmunix_test.
mk_kernel -s /stand/system -o /stand/vmunix
This second example automatically moves the kernel to the /stand directory and makes a
backup (/stand/vmunix_prev) if the file /stand/vmunix already exists.
7. If you did not use the -o option with the mk_kernel command, execute kmupdate and this
will copy the new kernel to /stand/vmunix. (Or you can manually 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
the Managing System and Workgroups: A Guide for HP-UX System Administrators
manual.
