Reclaim Storage needed after kernel update

Last weekend we moved from a 620 to a 640 kernel for our PRD instance. Our TST instance, on the same system was moved weeks ago.
The PRD ran without problems after the upgrade to the new kernel.
In the backup we do a Save While Active of SAP data, except on Wednesday. So before last night's backup SAP was stopped and after the save started again. In the history log we have several messages with msgid CPF32A6 "Cross-reference notification 1190 for request 54, problem type 1." Which requires a RCLSTG to be run.
Does someone have an explanation for this behavior ?

Hello Volker,
Sorry for leaving my name out, it is Rudi by the way.
After running the RCLSTG *DBXREF, I started SAP again. In the history log of the system the same message popped up again. This messages indicates a new RCLSTG is needed.
This very same problem was experienced by me before. An update of the DBSL in the Kernel library solved this issue. At that time the symptoms were the same, after a RCLSTG was run SAP was started producing a message indicating a new RCLSTG was needed.
I have been working with the i5/iSeries/AS400 since the beginning back in 1988, but I have never came across systems asking for a RCLSTG so many times as SAP does. I have the feeling there is more to it then just a coincidence.
What I will do is open a PMR for this issue and update this forum with the outcome of it.
Kind regards, Rudi.

  • Automatically build kernel module after kernel update

    Hello. Everytime kernel is updated, my wifi drivers don't work. I need to use this to get my adapter working: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/8192cu-dkms/ .
    After kernel update, I have to manually reinstall the package, so the kernel module gets rebuilt. Is there any way to make it automatic?

    I noticed it, but your script doesn't run at all when I type `mkinitcpio -p linux`. And wifi still works after reboot. Same for graphics driver, it has a hook at shutdown, that rebuilds its module after kernel update, it haven't run too and graphics driver works. It's like 'mkinitcpio -p linux' does nothing to the system.

  • Automatic recompiling of kernel module after kernel update.

    Hello everyone,
    i tried to search for it but without success...
    my question is - is it possible to set it up somehow that aur package would recompile after kernel update?
    The package I would like to rebuild is rt3090 which is module for my wifi card. It is very annoying to rebuild it manually. I know that my fglrx module does it automaticaly but how to set it?
    Thank all of you for any advise.

    Thank you :-) It looks ok, I will try DKMS as soon as I get some free time. If there was any problem, I would tell you.
    BTW: I use catalyst mainly because of saving energy management, which is of course better for my netbook. My card is too new to be fully supported by the opensource driver.
    EDIT:
    I solved the situation by upgrading my system, I tried in-kernel module rt2800pci. In the previous kernels it didn't work well with my crappy ralink rt3090 wifi card, but that's been improved :-) so I do not need rebuild the package anymore even because this module isn't compatible with newest kernel.
    I also learnt how to write my own hook from archwiki (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mkinitcpio) so if the new module didn't work I would try it.
    The final solution = replace module rt3090sta by rt2800pci.
    Thanks! Arch has very powerful community :-)

  • Lost network after kernel update

    Hi
    I have lost my network after kernel updating the kernel [2.6.35.7]
    I downgraded to kernel 2.6.35.6

    Hi,
    I'm just reporting that I had this issue today too. I rebooted my computer from Win7 to Arch64 and I was left without network. Also it doesn't work in windows after rebooting back. I thought that It is something with connection so I tried to recoonect cable and also tryied to swap it in switch/adsl gateway. It started working after several switches (not on 1st!) It looks like interface is repeating on and off. So I rebooted to Arch and it stops working again...
    I fixed it by reinstalling kernel26 package. But it is strange because it works yesterday, last thing what I did with kernel and modules was update of gc nvidia drivers... I don't know when I updated kernel last time
    I'm using same network driver as Karol - r8169
    lsmod | less
    mii                     3826  1 r8169
    I'm using this card as well.  I upgraded yesterday and I can't get wireless with WICD.  Windows and normal network daemon work fine.  I use kernel26.  What other info can I provide?  If a bug report needs to be filed, would it be WICD, kernel26 or other?
    Also, I forgot, but I'm not using normal Wicd, I'm using wicd-nogtk from AUR.  Krychle, are you using this also?
    Edit:  I think this has to do with the python update.  I updated wicd-nogtk and its good now.  I am online.

  • VMware player won't start after kernel update

    Hi,
    today I've updated to 3.9.6-1 kernel and all went good. So I wanted to start my vmware player to start a vm. Of course I've done the needed steps in the vmplayer wiki page to setup the new headers and stuff after kernel update for vmplayer. Also I've ran "vmware-patch -f" and ran trough. But still get an error when I wanted to start the player in the "/tmp/vmware-root/vmware-modconfig-11986.log":

    Maybe it has something to do with the last filesystem update?

  • [Solved] Can not build modules for VMware Player after kernel updates

    I have a problem generating the modules for VMware Player after kernel updates. I am using  VMware Player version 5.02 (without patches) and the softlink according to the Wiki.

  • Mounting issues after kernel update (2.6.25)

    After installing the recent kernel update, mounting has gone haywire. When I put in a cd (in either of my 2 drives) it doesn't mount. In thunar, when I click on the cd drive, it displays this error:

    Also, when booting a few minutes ago, it was stuck on the "checking filesystems" for a few minutes, when it usually does that step almost immediately. I also couldn't mount an iso, this is what happened:
    [root@eric-arch eric]# mount -o loop -t iso9660 /path/to/iso.iso /mnt/iso2
    mount: could not find any device /dev/loop#
    Note: I am not certain that it was caused by the kernel update, but that is the only thing I did to my machine before this started happening.
    Please help asap because I need to do schoolwork which is on a cd.

    jealma wrote:I know the solution to the /dev/loop-problem. The new 2.6.25 kernel has the loop device as a module. Please try a `modprobe loop`, that gives you a /dev/loop. I don't know whether that will be persistent after a reboot, so you may need to add "loop" to the modules-list in /etc/rc.conf.
    That worked, but I still have other issues with cd mounting, so I downgraded my kernel for now.

  • [Solved] Nvidia after kernel update

    The nvidia wiki clearly states that: "Every time the kernel26 package is updated, it is a requirement to reinstall the nvidia package and rebooting afterwards. "
    But my question is, why? I mean, if the module was to be recompiled, that would make sense. But what does just reinstalling the driver accomplish? In my system, pacman -Ql nvidia shows:
    $ pacman -Ql nvidia
    nvidia /etc/
    nvidia /etc/modprobe.d/
    nvidia /etc/modprobe.d/nouveau_blacklist.conf
    nvidia /lib/
    nvidia /lib/modules/
    nvidia /lib/modules/2.6.35-ARCH/
    nvidia /lib/modules/2.6.35-ARCH/kernel/
    nvidia /lib/modules/2.6.35-ARCH/kernel/drivers/
    nvidia /lib/modules/2.6.35-ARCH/kernel/drivers/video/
    nvidia /lib/modules/2.6.35-ARCH/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia.ko
    From what I've read, I think the kernel update process copies the compiled modules into the proper folder (inside /lib) named by the kernel version. Should this not be the case with nvidia? If it is not, then is this why the reinstall is needed?
    Thanks in advance (and my apologies if I've glossed over something that's patently obvious --- while I've searched for the answer before posting, I am still quite the novice at tinkering with the kernel)
    EDIT: just after posting I've realized that maybe this post belongs in "Kernel and Hardware Issues" subforum. But the truth is this isn't really an "issue"... it's more a question from, well, a newbie :-)

    Running the risk of asking what might be obvious to some, why?
    The driver speaks to the kernel. When the kernel updates, the language used might have changed in various ways. Since nvidia is closed-source, its not always obvious whether what has changed affects it. The same applies to xorg-server, when it updates you should recompile your nvidia driver. Its SOMETIMES not needed, but when it is, would you rather be solving it from the tty?

    ngoonee wrote:That's what the wiki is referring to. Even if the kernel major version has not updated (for example 2.6.35.5 to 2.6.35.6 is only a minor version bump) the driver may need to be recompiled. Safer to just do it everytime and restart the machine.
    Now I'm confused. Are you saying that the safest approach is to recompile and (re)install the nvidia module after each kernel update? And does this only apply to modules from beta & AUR, or [extra] as well? And shouldn't all this issue of recompiling modules also apply to every other module installed in the system?
    Yes that's the safest approach. [extra] is taken care of by the devs, the simple way is to assume they'll bump it if needed (and you don't need to do anything).
    The same thing applies to almost any kernel module (AFAIK). It applies to virtualbox's modules, for sure, as well as phc-intel (the only other 2 external modules I use). Most kernel modules are actually compiled in to the kernel26 package anyway, so its not very many. I just automatically recompile the ones I use whenever I notice a kernel/xorg update.

  • After kernel update, anything i should do for my arch system in vbox

    Hi all:
    I've installed arch as a vbox guest system. The host system is windows 7.
    After Archlinux kernel updates, do i need to re-install the guest add-on modules ?
    or is there anything necessary after each kernel update ?
    Best Regards,

    Thanks for the reply.
    I've already installed the virtualbox-archlinux-additions.
    So after the kernel update there's nothing i need to do ?

  • Arch drops me to a rescue shell after kernel update

    Hello everyone,
    I am an Arch newbie and glad if you hold my hand for a little on this one.
    Last night I did my first
    pacman -Syu
    and among others it also updated my kernel to whatever kernel currently in the repositories is. After that I rebooted my Linux box and yes I forgot to update my /boot/efi/EFI/arch first; now it says it can't properly read from my /boot and drops me to a rescue shell.
    I have a UEFI motherboard and during installation I followed the EFISTUB instructions in the wiki; using that everything booted flawlessly on my first attempt.
    So far I managed to boot from my trusted SystemRescueCD. I can access the Arch documentation via web browser in an X11 environment and I can cleanly mount my partitions and chroot, but I am troubled by the output I am seeing. The obvious solution to my newbie problem would be to go through the EFISTUB instructions in the wiki again, but I have no clue where my boot file sources are. Check this:

    root@sysresccd /root % mkdir /mnt/arch-root/boot

    Why are there no vmlinuz-linux, initramfs-linux.img, and initramfs-linux-fallback.img in my /mnt/arch-root/boot ?
    Why is there an EFI/* in my /mnt/arch-root/boot and not the efi/EFI/* I expect to find? It's as if one level of the file hierarchy is missing... if I mounted something incorrectly, I'd expect an empty mount point, but this phenomenon  of having something but not everything really puzzles me.
    The rest seems ok as it was Feb27 when I did my intital installation of Arch and Mar6 when I did the pacman -Syu
    Thanks for any help, I am really clueless right now.

    Thanks for the reply.
    I've already installed the virtualbox-archlinux-additions.
    So after the kernel update there's nothing i need to do ?

  • Problems with key shortcuts after kernel update (can't shutdown wifi)

    Hi! Sorry for my poor english!
    I have 2 problems on my laptop that went out after a kernel update; the first one involves the wireless card (Atheros Communications Inc. AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01), but I don't think it is important): when I press the key shortcut it switches off only partially, the led remains lighted and with "rfkill list all" i get that is actually only software blocked.
    The second problem is about the key shortcut to switch off the screen: even with xev it isn't recognised anymore.
    I am pretty sure the 2 problems are related; the latest kernel with they were working is 3.5.6-1, in fact if I downgrade to that version I haven't got any problem.
    I have encountered this issue with 3 models of Asus EEEPC: 1015pd (mine), 1215b and 1015cx, (the first two with AR9285, the third with AR9485).
    Thanks for the help ;-)

    Ok, so after removing catalyst-test and trying to install catalyst, I got the following error:
    resolving dependencies...
    warning: cannot resolve "catalyst-utils", a dependency of "catalyst"
    :: The following package cannot be upgraded due to unresolvable dependencies:

  • No sound after (kernel)update 64bit

    Hey I just rebooted my PC the first time after the new kernel update.
    Now sound is not working anymore at all... But the soundcard (Audigy 2 ZS) is still recognized (e.g. via alsamixer), and kmix does not give any error message. Everything seems to work fine, except the fact that there is no sound. Of course I already checked if I muted anything by mistake. Sound is working on Vista (dualboot), so the hardware is alright.
    Any hint what could be the problem?
    PS: I stressed the kernel update in the first line, because I strongly suspect it for being the cause of the problem. The other updates were not that important (samba...).
    But I would like to hear other opinions.
    Greetings, yodo
    Edit: Ok, I manually compiled and installed an older kernel (kernel26-2.6.27.8-1) and sound is working again. It was definitly the kernel's fault! The version(s) I had (have) problems with were kernel26-2.6.27.10-1 and also kernel26-2.6.27.9-1 which I tried before kernel26-2.6.27.8-1.
    Any other users with the same problem?

    Thanks! But actually rebuilding the kernel did not fix anything (for me) - at least not rebuilding kernel26-2.6.27.10-1 or kernel26-2.6.27.9-1. Sound only works after a downgrade to kernel26-2.6.27.8-1 (or below I suppose).

  • Wireless issues after kernel update

    Hi,
    after I updated my kernel yesterday, I've been having some issues with my wireless. I'm on a dell inspiron 1545, using kde and I use the broadcom-wl driver form the AUR.
    Anyways. After I did a system update yesterday, it would refuse to load the wl module. So I recompiled the driver and that was fine. But still my laptop refuses to use its wireless card. At first I just couldn't connect to any wireless, now the networkmanager just claims that my WLAN Interface is unavailable.
    the output of iwconfig:
    lo no wireless extensions.
    eth0 IEEE 802.11bg ESSID:"" Nickname:""
    Mode:Managed Frequency:2.412 GHz Access Point: Not-Associated

    Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
    Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
    eth1 no wireless extensions.
    but if I try to run 'iwlist eth0 scan' it states:
    eth0 Failed to read scan data : Invalid argument
    I'm not that experienced with wireless, so I did what https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Broadcom_BCM43XX says and some other pages I found on google. 'iwconfig eth0 up' doesn't have any influence.
    As I said, before the upgrade it worked fine and I also had configured it as it is described in the link above.
    thanks for any inputs,

  • [Solved] Overheating/fan/sensors issues after kernel updates

    Hi all,
    I realise there has been a bit of correspondence on this already.  I'm after some advice for my specific situation:
    1. My laptop is an acer aspire 5315.  I has well understood overheating issues that arrise due to BIOS problems
    2. Fan control and temperature reporting worked perfectly with kernel 2.6.30, stopped working with 2.6.31 - I assume due to the well documented changes made in that release.  The temperature only seems to be read once - at boot.  sensors never reports a change after that; if the temperature is cold at boot the fan never get switched on.  Unfortunately this happens most often.
    3. I tried setting the recommended kernel option (can't relocate the post now).  It didn't help :-?
    4. I have tried upgrading the BIOS but the distribution from acer is a windows executable (won't run under freeDOS) and I do not have windows installed on this PC (not game to try under wine).
    5. I re-installed the old kernel from my pacman cache only to find that my wireless no longer works (fan works just fine though).
    I'm now totally stumped :-/
    I'd like to update my bios and go with the latest kernel but can't see a way without installing windows.
    This might be fixed in an ubuntu kernel release (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour … bug/453700) but I'd prefer not to do that switch... perhaps the same fix is coming to arch?
    I'd accept having to pin the kernel to an earlier version but neet to get the wireless working.
    help...
    edit: 
    I've now managed to get the kernel backdated correctly (so that wireless works as well as the fan) by re-installing the kernel and firmware together.
    Have configured pacman to igmore future kernel updates
    If anyone has any suggestions on howto update my bios I'd be very greatful.

    Hi,
    Got exactly the same issue, after running for a while laptop justs goes off... going to try to regress kernel until issue is resolved
    BIOS update does sound a bit extreme
