Error during Upgradation SCM 5.0 to SCM 5.1 Non-Unicode System

Hi,

I am Upgrading SCM 5.0 Non-Unicode System to SCM 5.1 Non-unicode on Windows 2003 Server with MSS 2005 DB. During the initial PREPARE (EXTRACTKRN_PRE) phase I am getting an error like

init

2010/06/15 07:03:45 PREPARE: START OF PHASE EXTRACTKRN_PRE

ERROR: Cannot find file 'C:\SCM_2007_Upgrade_Media\51033508_8\NW_7.0_SR3_Kernel_WINDOWS__LNX_X86\KN_WINDOWS_X86_64_AUPG

KERNEL.TOC'

SEVERE ERROR(S) OCCURRED IN EXTRACTKRN_PRE !!!

The file name it is looking for does not exist in any of the Kernel versions I have checked. If I try to skip this step it is asking for the PASSWORD. How can I get this password? (only from SAP Support or any note?).

What is the Solution for the above ERROR. Please help.

Thanks,

Ajay.

This is not wanted as written in the "Rules of engagement". This is a public forum, not a "help desk".

> OK, As you said If I post only in a single group do you guarantee that you will check every time all the groups to answer my question/ find my question?

Again, this is a forum where the question are answered on a volunteered basis. "Demanding" help is not the way to go, you can ask for help but there's no guarantee that you'll get an answer. If you urgently need help use the official support channels or get yourself a consultant on-site who can answer all your question instantly.

> And please paste the URL of those rules that this is wrong. Since I didnt read that.

It's the first entry in every forum, it contains the "Rules of Engagement" which say:

Please do not Cross post.

Post your question in the most appropriate forum; not multiple forums. This is bad netiquette and will might only aggravate potential repliers.

Just imagine if everyone like you would paste questions in several forums.

Markus-

I have already checked SCM 4.1, SCM 5.0 and SCM 5.1 and Sol Man 7.01 Kernels there is no KERNEL.TOC file instead there is TOC.xml file. I have shortened the media paths. Then it has taken.

Thanks.

Markus-

I am not posting the question in the same group. I am posting in different groups due the confusion of in which group to post and of course to get faster response. All people cant check all the groups to answer. Moreover I am not keeping the questions open. As soon as I get the answer I am proving the answer in every group and immediately closing the question.

So what is the problem with that? I do not think this is creating any inconvenience to any one, just increasing the number of questions in the group.

OK, As you said If I post only in a single group do you guarantee that you will check every time all the groups to answer my question/ find my question?

If yes. I will stop right away. And please paste the URL of those rules that this is wrong. Since I didnt read that.

Thanks.

Hi,

I DOES create a lot of inconvenience to a LOT of readers including myself because it increases the questions in the group.

And it is forbidden by the forum rules.

The system is looking for KERNEL.TOC which is a label on the corresponding DVD. It seems you have the wrong DVD or it's been corrupted.

If I check in the SMP for the DVD 51033508_8 and if I look into the content I can see KERNEL.TOC there.
