Can't read kernel memory

[Yan Wong]

Hi Folks,

I have an HP-UX 11.0 host. As I run the dmesg, the result looks weird as following:
Jan 3 09:58
Can't read kernel memory

any ideas?

Did you install any patches on the system but not reboot the box?. Did you make the kernel but haven't not rebooted to put into effect?.

If so, please reboot the box and you will be ok. Check your 'lanscan' too. It should also not be working.

Sounds like you have made a new kernel but haven't re-booted yet. Re-boot when you can.

If you are not logged in as root, you'll get this message.

You'll need to be root to read the kernel. If you don't want to be using root you could use sudo. Grab a copy from http://hpux.connect.org.uk/

Regards,

Dave.

Hi,
Yeah you can run this dmesg command only with root user.
either run this command after logging in as root, or su to root.

Thanks folks. It is fixed with root login.
