Hi Joe,

Take a look at the thread below,

http://us-support.external.hp.com/cki/bin/doc.pl/sid=a72e3ad616eedd3f38/screen=ckiDisplayDocument?docId=200000048391531

Hope this helps.

When you say that your swap is full, what exactly do you mean? Do you have free disk space to add more swap, if not look at using filesystem paging (man 1m swapon):

/usr/sbin/swapon [-m min] [-l limit] [-r reserve] [-p priority]directory

From what I see, if it is not related to your swap, then it appears you have a bad install or some serious corruption.

Do you have the latest patches installed (sept 2001)??

Hi there.
Is it possible, that your midaemon is not up / running ?
Check 'ps -ef | grep midaemon'.
Read man pages for startup.

sam and gpm won't work either. Below is the error message from SAM.

# OBAM INTERNAL ERROR: Cannot fork: Not enough space
sam: Error: The cpp(1) command failed on file: /usr/sam/lib/C/fal.ui.

[harry d brown jr · Accepted solution]

Time to increase your swap is now!!!! You will have SERIOUS issues if you don't!

swapon [-m min] [-l limit] [-r reserve] [-p priority] directory

Looks like I have swap space, but no memory.

I have seen this when I have made several changes to the kernel, re-built the kernel but did reboot the machine. But, I moved the kernel that was made in /stand/vmunix_test to /stand/vmunix. This gives you a situtation where the kernel in memory is different then the kernel /stand/vmunix. I know glance try's to access the kernel for some information when it runs. This could be the problem if you recently rebuilt the kenrel

swapon worked and saved me!

Thanks
