Target system install problem (SAPINST searching for Non unicode kernel)

[Former Member]

Hi,

I'm currently performing a unicode conversion (from 4.7 to EHP4). I am finished with the upgrade and I'm now in the unicode conversion part.

I have completed the export and selected unicode as the target system. I am done with source system uninstallation and I'm now installing the unicode target system. I have selected unicode during the parameter selection (it's the default option anyway) but during the part where it will ask for the kernel DVD, it doesn't accept the path of my unicode kernel (and instead looks for the non-unicode kernel)

Hi Markus,

Thanks for your response. This problem is now resolved. It turns out that there are some remaining files from the old /usr/sap/<> and /sapmnt/SID/exe that were not deleted yet (after uninstalling for non unicode system). I proceeded to delete again these files and ensure that there are no files from the non unicode system

what is the exact error message you get?

Do you use the latest installation media?
