Re: log file

Hi,

What were you doing at that time, booting? Has the machine crashed before?

Re: log file

One possible cause for this is when a new kernel is generated and is moved into place manually (via "mv" or "cp") instead of using kmupdate or sam.

check /stand/vmunix

Re: log file

If you've done this, you can fix the error message with:

mv /stand/vmunix /stand/build/vmunix_test
kmupdate /stand/build/vmunix_test

The first step undoes the move you did and the second step moves it in the correct 11.x manner.
