  • 1.  Error when running mkcd

    I'm trying to run mkcd and I get the following error.

    0512-323 mkcd: The following files are required for the
    creation of the CD or DVD image and are not available on the source system:
    /usr/lib/drivers/pci/atidd devices.pci.02105e51.rte
    /usr/lib/drivers/pci/atiddpin devices.pci.02105e51.rte
    /usr/lib/methods/cfg_ati devices.pci.02105e51.rte

    The files can be installed from the listed filesets.

    The mkcd continues and creates the image(I'm not actually writing to the cd/dvd at this point).

    I can't find this fileset or any reference to it in the Technical Help Database, using which_fileset, or anywhere else. Any ideas?

    The answer is in the question. The mkcd is asking for the following fileset (which can be obtained from the AIX CDs)

    devices.pci.02105e51.rte

    No, the question is in the answer. Yes, I realize the files are in the devices.pci.02105e51.rte fileset. My question is "Where is the fileset". I've been unable to find it on the AIX CDs. Definitely not on CD1 or CD2.

    I think you have a phantom fileset and a call to IBM might be needed.

    I have this same AIX issue, currently. IBM says the fileset is on any AIX 5.3 CD that was shipped in 2006, but not before.

    Since that is the case, why has IBM not put the baselevel on the support website as they have for all previous addon filesets after GA?

    mkdvd is a link to mkcd which determines the media. You will also use GNU versions of cdrecord, readcd, and mkisofs which are installed in the base AIX install if you have a DVD in the AIX system.

    Note: For information about CD-R, DVD-R, or DVD-RAM drives and CD-R, DVD-R, or DVD-RAM creation software, refer to the following readme file:

    /usr/lib/drivers/pci/atidd devices.pci.02105e51.rte
    /usr/lib/drivers/pci/atiddpin devices.pci.02105e51.rte
    /usr/lib/methods/cfg_ati devices.pci.02105e51.rte

    This is due to different HW in different machines.

    Go out to fix central and search for the filesets. The URL is http://www-912.ibm.com/eserver/support/fixes/fcgui.jsp you can usually find what you need there.
