Re: Boot Problem - Itanium

Sounds like this symptoms:

OTHER: system will not boot. If encountered, the boot
loader will issue the following output:
"Could not open file vmunix to check for a directory"
"Could not open vmunix"
"kernel loading failed"

Fixed in PHKL_35426
http://www4.itrc.hp.com/service/patch/patchDetail.do?patchid=PHKL_35426&sel={hpux:11.23,}&BC=main|search|

This is only 1 possible reason.
Of course yor file system may became corrupt anyhow. You may try to transfer the new boot loader to the disk or attempt to repair the system using the install media or finally recover the system from the backup.

Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.

Re: Boot Problem - Itanium

Thanks for this Torsten -

I've recovered from my ignite tape

It seems that particular patch is already installed but as you say it could be anything!

I've repeated the mirroring process (this time with the extra step to edit /stand/bootconf..) and have rebooted several times now (from primary and alternate) so far so good...

Hopefuly it was just one of those things!

Thanks for the swift response!
