[comp.unix.sysv386] HELP, Ethernet installation failure on SCO Unix

knutta@lise.unit.no (Knut Alfredsen) (04/05/91)

I am trying to install a Western Digital ethernet card under SCO Unix, but the 
thing will not work properly. When the kernel is relinked after the installation
, I get an error message:

/./etc/conf/pack.d/kernel/space.c, line 310 unknown size
ERROR: space.c will not compile properly

Run mkdev tcp and reboot via INIT 6.

When I am doing this the machine reboots, but there is no sign of the wdn card.
I do also get some error messages when tcp is coming up.

Does anybody know what I am doing wrong, and what I should do to correct it ?

Thanks

I got this error after installing UFE and then installing something else.
Apparently you need to re-install UFE (for SCO ODT 1.0) after installing
other components of Open Desktop 1.0.  At least this made the error go away.

The following article from the SCO Information Tools database should help 
with your problem.   I'm posting because I think this may be of general
interest.

I installed the UFE diskette and now cannot relink my kernel.

RELEASE:   Open Desktop Release 1.0 with UFE

PROBLEM:   I have installed the UFE disk and now I am unable to
           relink my kernel.  The link fails with the message:

           /./etc/conf/pack.d/kernel/space.c , line 310: unknown size
           Error: /./etc/conf/pack.d/kernel/space.c will not compile
           properly.
           
           Line 310 of the file space.c reads "struct stseldata
           selstreams[NSTREAM]."

SOLUTION:  This problem occurs because an out of date header file for
           streams has been installed.  To correct the problem, use
           the following commands to extract the correct streams file 
	   from the UFE disk that is labeled volume 2:

              cd /
              tar xvf /dev/rfd096ds15 ./tmp/386GT/include/sys/streams.h
              cd /tmp/386GT/include/sys
              cp streams.h /usr/include/sys/streams.h
              cd /tmp
              rm -rf 386GT

            Linking of the kernel will now complete without error.
