You should NOT be using "uerf" on relatively recent systems. For that class of system, the minimum would be to use DECevent or (better) Compaq Analyze (CA). The bit-to-text translation for "uerf" hasn't been updated in years. Best thing would be to look at WEBES which includes the System Event Analyzer (SEA, the CA replacement).

Look for WEBES at: http://h18000.www1.hp.com/support/svctools/

When you analyze the error log with SEA and still see strange data, please show us an error log entry with full details.
