SRDB ID : 4627
SYNOPSIS : reconfiguring 4.1.2 kernel fails with undefined symbols
DETAIL DESCRIPTION : This problem only happens if the upgrade process is
done through sunupgrade.
Reconfiguring the customized kernel after 4.1.2
sunupgrade may fail with:
<symbol> undefined
.
.
.
.
towards the end of loading symbols in the make process.
SOLUTION SUMMARY : If directory /usr/sys/<arch>/<kernel_configuration_
filename>/ exists before the sunupgrade, it may
cause the reconfiguration of the kernel to fail after
the sunupgrade.
The subsequent /usr/etc/config command fails to
overwrite the existing make and depends on
/usr/sys/<arch>/<kernel_configuration_filename>
/ directory.
To resolve the problem:
root_prompt> rm -r /usr/sys/<arch>/<kernel_
configuration_filename>
Then reconfigure kernal as normal.
