Hi,

you may want to boot from cdrom, mount root_domain and look for vmunix. Should it be deleted, copy genvmunix to vmunix, reboot and build a new kernel.

greetings,

Michael

ps. If you need more details, ask.

You may try booting an alternate kernel, and then recompile a new one:

boot -fi genvmunix -fl s
bcheckrc
doconfig
cp /path/to/new/kernel /vmunix
reboot

But is not normal that only the vmunix file is deleted, maybe you have others files deleted or corrupted. You may need to restore a backup or reinstall the system.

tsunami is the 'system chipset' for systems like DS20 and ES40.

What system is it?
What changed?
Did this system setup ever boot?

Try to boot a genvmunix and/or from CD as suggested.

If you are going to re-install
Why not go to a recent version (5.1B)
Any good reason to stay on Tru64 4.0G?

Good luck,
Hein.
