SCO Compiling error

mkdev tape - recompiling kernel error

On an hp Netserver Lc3 server (SCO 5.0.5) I'm trying to reconfigure the backup device using "mkdev tape" but at the end of the wizard I'm returned the following "recompiling kernel error"

"You must create a new kernel to effect the driver change you specified. 
Do you wish to create a new kernel now? (y/n) y 
 
       The UNIX Operating System will now be rebuilt.
       This will take a few minutes.  Please wait.

i386ld fatal: Symbol referencing errors. No output written to unix 
ERROR: Can not link-edit unix 
idbuild: idmkunix had errors.

Error: Kernel link failed." 
 

Could you help me please how to exceed this error?

Many of the products and books I review are things I purchased for my own use. Some were given to me specifically for the purpose of reviewing them. I resell or can earn commissions from the sale of some of these items. Links within these pages may be affiliate links that pay me for referring you to them. That's mostly insignificant amounts of money; whenever it is not I have made my relationship plain. I also may own stock in companies mentioned here. If you have any question, please do feel free to contact me.

Specific links that take you to pages that allow you to purchase the item I reviewed are very likely to pay me a commission. Many of the books I review were given to me by the publishers specifically for the purpose of writing a review. These gifts and referral fees do not affect my opinions; I often give bad reviews anyway.
