[comp.sys.dec.micro] rarp problem: rs5000/ultrix 4.1

era@ncar.ucar.edu (Ed Arnold) (05/12/91)

Have recently gotten stuck with the ugly task of trying to
make a sun boot from an rs5000 running ultrix 4.1, and have gotten
stalled at the point of starting rarpd.  When I try that, I get:

# /usr/etc/rarpd
/usr/etc/rarpd: cannot find symbol Pfilt_read in /vmunix
option PACKETFILTER does not appear to be configured in your kernel.
#

"options PACKETFILTER" wasn't mentioned in the "Configuration File
Maintenance" manual, so I added it to the config file in /usr/sys/conf/mips
anyway, ran config, then tried to make a new kernel.  Result of the
make was:

loading vmunix
/bin/ld:
Undefined:
lk_pfilt
*** Error code 1
Stop.

This symbol "lk_pfilt" appears as an undefined in kern_lock_data.o,
and nowhere else.  Can someone tell me if I'm missing a .o file,
something in the Makefile, or ???

Thanks in advance for your assistance ... by email please, will
summarize if this isn't a trivial problem that's been beaten to
death before ...
