Hi Guillaume,
Here are some of the possible causes of your error and some recovery
procedures that I found for you.
0514-040 Error initializing a device into the kernel
Possible Causes:
You were unable to configure a specific device. While trying to initialize
your device driver, you were unable to load it as part of the kernel
extension. The specific device driver file in the /etc/drivers file is
damaged or contains software errors.
Your Object Data Management (ODM) database file is damaged, and you are
unable to configure your device.
Procedures for Recovery:
Check for possible software errors if you are modifying your configuration
method or device driver.
Try replacing the device driver file if you suspect that the device driver
is damaged.
Copy the device driver file from another system that has the same release
level as your system, either through the network by running the ftp command,
or through a diskette by using the backup and restore commands. When you
restore the file, make sure that it preserves the permission code,
ownership, and location of your previous file.
Enter your command again.
If you suspect that the ODM database is damaged, try replacing the PdAt
file.
Copy the PdAt file from another system that has the same release level as
your current system, either through the network by running the ftp command,
or through a diskette by using the backup and restore commands. When you
restore the file, make sure that it preserves the permission code,
ownership, and location of your previous file.
Enter your command again.
Good Luck,
Hope this helps

Subject: Enable to define library
Hi all
I just upgraded from 4.2.3.3 to 5.1.6.3. Everything went fine but now I
can't definine my Library. It is an STK 9730 with 2 DLT drives. The drives
were deleted and
redefined during the install without a problem. But when I try to define the
library through smit, I get the following error :
Method error (/etc/methods/cfgtsmdd):
0514-040 Error initializing a device into the kernel.
BTW I am on AIX 5.1
Thanks for the help
