David,
I haven't installed Oracle 8.1.7 or 9.2 to AIX
5.1 yet, but thanks
to a data storage interrupt kernel panic on a 5.1 box, I do
know
that 'crash' has been replaced by 'kdb' for examining crash
dumps.
So, rootpre.sh is going to break on the
line
'PKEXT_PATH='echo le | crash | blah blah
blah...'
I think the question is - do you need the post-wait kernel
extension at AIX 5.1?
I don't know about Oracle 8.1.7, but the 9.2 Installation Guide
(p. 2-35) says: "For Oracle9i 9.2.0.1.0 on AIX 5L, the functon
and performance benefits of the Oracle post-wait kernel
extension are incorporated into the AIX kernel. Oracle 9i
9.2.0.1.0 on AIX 5L does not require the Oracle post-wait
kernel extension to be loaded."
(This begs the question as to whether I still would need to run
rootpre.sh for asyncronous I/O configuration. Presumably, I
could use smit to configure async I/O.)
It seems to me I read somewhere that 8.1.7 still requires a
32-bit kernel extension and therefore, you may not be able
to run a 64-bit AIX kernel with 8.1.7.

I am trying to run rootpre.sh. My admin just upgrade the kernel to 64-bit.
We were running 32-bit on this box and everything was fine. No Oracle
software is running. I am going to install 64-bit 8.1.7 Ent Ed for AIX 5.1L
when I got this trying to run rootpre.sh.
This is what I get when I run:
#./rootpre.sh
