Hello,
We have a Sun Ultra60 running Solaris8. When we install the kernel
patch 108528-20, we consistently get a kernel panic when loading the AFS
module. However, if we backed out to 108528-19 of the kernel
patch, everything was okay. This was with either OpenAFS v1.2.9 or
Trnasarc AFS v3.6 patch#7. After sending in the core files to sun for
analysis, this was their explanation:
"The system is panicing because the afs driver is calling
read_binding_file() during the modload. This function
used to only take 2 arguments. Starting in 108528-20, it
takes 3 arguments. The AFS driver is not setting up the
thrid argument when it calls this function so the system
panics. read_binding_file() is private to the Solaris kernel.
3rd party modules are not permitted to call this interface."
I was wondering of anyone else had encountered this problem.
Thanks for any help,
