Hi Balaji,

I cant get much info because I really cant get into the system. But it prompted me of a message...

system cant be rebooted.
"swap on fstype spec size 157320K"
"dump on fstype spec size 157300K"

Unfortunately, I dont have ignite for this...

I've never seen this but, it looks like there is a crash dump on the swap device that filled it up. You need some swap space to boot and it sounds like there is none free.
Maybe you can boot from a maintenance CD. Maybe someone else can help with that. I've actually never done it.
