Mark Warren (mwarren@zk3.dec.com) recommended I ask you for help.
On Thursday (Sept 7th) I created a new sandbox to build a kernel
in. This was backed to slugbt:/alpha_platinum/ptos, I then did
a mklinks -copy kernel as I needed a sandbox which would not change
out from under me.
After the kernel was built I booted it and now uname is reporting the
following
uname -a
OSF1 babylon5 X4.0 138 alpha
^^^
Next I looketd at /etc/motd
Digital UNIX X4.0C-6 (Rev. 138); Fri Sep 8 17:05:51 PDT 1995
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
As you can see it lists the kernel as C-6 and Rev 138. The problem
is we should be on 4.0-8 (Rev 239) over a 100 revision different.
I've checked with other engineers which are backed to the same tree
and they are getting the same results.
HELP!!!!

Subj: Re: BL8 kernel build
It appears that you were trying to build a kernel backed by the submit
tree. The submit tree is not set up to support a legal kernel build. The
kernel config files for managing the namespace [i.e. X4.0-6 rev whatever]
are maintained in the build area and propogated only to the nightly and
baselevel trees. We suggest that you do your kernel builds backed by
either a nightly tree or a baselevel tree. The kernel you ended up with,
though, should be functionally correct. The datafiles for managing the
namespace should be the only things out of rev.
