Let's clarify where you are: Is the system up at run level 3?

who -r

What does 'lvlnboot -v' report?

Can you get a dump from the command line?

savecrash -rf /dir/crash (* any dir. about 2gb in size *)

Looks like you have no swap so you'll have to verify the primary disk for booting up. You'll never get a bootup if there's not lvol1 2, or three not present or if they're not contiguous.

Think about reinstalling.

well after bch. when the server is booting from the hard disk at that time it is throwing the error message that i have sent to you.

Reinstall. Interrupt the automatic restore to manually configure the install. Don't use the auto restore. Manually select your primary disk, manually enter your ip, gateway, NIS, timezone, etc.

Mohan,

Did you go under additional options on the basic screen? there is an option there - clone to different hardware - that needs to be set to true.

Also verify your ignite tape.

Even this message is shown on every panic, this time it could be the reason due to the big difference in the hardware:

"NEED DRIVERS ?????"

What version you are running on the rp5470?
The 2 system are really different in the hardware layout, you it may be impossible to clone a rp5470 to a rp4440.
