grep Revision /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log

will give the kernel loaded. I hope looking at GSP logs or MP logs will give more details.

i can't find any lines containing 'stand' or Revision in my syslog file.
what /stand/vmunix won't help me - i'm trying to understand if I used 'vmunix' to boot (or other kernel file, vmunix.prev, for instance)
I do remeber I used adb once to find it, I just can't remember how...

Itai,

# echo boot_string/s | adb /stand/vmunix /dev/kmem

Best regards,
