Kernel build fails

If a kernel build fails, review the error messages in the /tmp/kernel.build error file for details.

• If a failure occurs while rebuilding the UnixWare kernel, this may be the result of a corrupted kernel file or idbuild(1M) tool caused by bad media or a malfunctioning device.

  Determine if your hardware (CD-ROM, cartridge tape, diskette, or network) is working properly. To do so, run any hardware and vendor diagnostic utilities or contact your network administrator.

• If the build fails for an application, the reason may be that the application failed to install properly.

The -B option allows the kernel to be built immediately without having to reboot.
