Hi,

I have a p650 power 4 system running under two LPARs, now when I run
cfgmgr on one of the LPAR with 3 cpus it gives me error


node1 /home/itopsdba>cfgmgr
Method error (/etc/methods/cfgprobe -c /etc/drivers/coreprobe.ext):
0514-038 Error loading kernel extension.
/etc/drivers/coreprobe.ext: A file or directory in the path name does
not exist.

I have also rebooted two times, but still getting the above error. Also
I have done the bosboot on the IPL device and relink the 32 bit kernel
running under AIX 5.2 ML 03.

Thanks in advance for any help or hint.

Riz

1) Check if the file exist
ls -l /etc/drivers/coreprobe.ext

2) If the file does not exist , check your SW repository
$ lppchk -v
$ lppchk -c
On AIX 5.1 the file comes from the fileset:
$ bos.sysmgt.serv_aid
and is installed to
/usr/lib/drivers/coreprobe.ext
and ( AFAIB ) copied to /etc/drivers
Maybe your root fs (/) was full and so the file could not be copied to
/etc/drivers
A forced reinstallation ( if the file is really missing ) and update
later on should solve this kind of problem

BTW:
How to find which file belongs to a lpp fileset:
$ lslpp -f | grep filename
$ lslpp -w FullpathToFile/FileName

for installed filesets

You might also use the command:
$ which_fileset FilenName
but which_fileset normaly can only display information about files of
the OS and not addon software.

Hi,

here from an AIX 5.2 ML8 box

>> lslpp -w /usr/lib/drivers/coreprobe.ext
File Fileset
Type
--------------------------------------------------------------------
/usr/lib/drivers/coreprobe.ext bos.sysmgt.serv_aid
File


It seems, that there ist some older stuff on the box. for me it worked,
just to copy it into /etc/drivers (a symbolic link replyed "too many
symbolic links to translate ...")
