Hi,

I have one rp-4440 with HP-UX 11.23(CFS- CLUSTER).After changing some kernel parametrs which required for oracle ,re-booted my server.But its not comming up ..started giving this error..

Entering single user mode now...
mkdir: cannot create /stand/current/krs: Too many levels of symbolic links
chmod: can't access /stand/current/krs
ERROR: Unable to read title of running configuration: KRS error code 2

So I copied some files(vmunix,mod,krs,.config,bootfs,mod,system)
from /stand/backup to /stand/current..

After that sytem is comming up to normal mode but stiil giving the error...

ERROR: Unable to retrieve module information from configuration
'current':
kc_kr_open_node(/kconfig/Modules): KRS error code 2
WARNING: Unable to load modules scheduled to be loaded at boot time:
kc_mod_get failed.

Can you create a new kernel now?

mk_kernel

Shalom,

1) Boot off of vmunix.prev or whatever you named the previous kernel.

2) Put the parameters back to what they were.

3) Generate a kernel with sam or however you did it last time.

Note the default system boot point is off of /stand/vmunux , not /stand/current

Hi,

Something similar happened to me:

# kcconfig
ERROR: Unable to read title of running configuration: KRS error code 2

What I did (worked fine for me):

# kconfig -n "last_install"
# shutdown -ry 0

Rgrds,
