Re: Vmunix Mux

What's your hardware model?

"vmunix" is the system kernel, which is sending you a message about "Mux expansion bus failure".

Mux is a short word for "multiplexer", a thing that joins together multiple signals with a low data rate so that they can all be transmitted using one wire that can pass a higher data rate.

Does your system have an external box with a lot of serial ports, attached to the system with one cable with big connectors? In that case, the messages might indicate that the big connector is not completely plugged in, or that the cable between the system and the serial port box may be damaged.
