/stand/vmunix missing

[IAN WATSON]

Last week I had to reinstall my system (10.20) after a disc problem

After restoring and rebooting everything seems to be working, except that the only file in /stand is ioconfig

Therefore netstat and sam return errors regarding the kernel

I have checked the last backup before the disc failed and it contains the following files:

# 1 /stand/bootconf
# 1 /stand/build
# 1 /stand/build/conf.c
# 1 /stand/build/conf.o
# 1 /stand/build/conf.o.old
# 1 /stand/build/config.mk
# 1 /stand/build/space.h
# 1 /stand/ioconfig
# 1 /stand/kernrel
# 1 /stand/system
# 1 /stand/system.29
# 1 /stand/system.prev
# 1 /stand/vmunix
# 1 /stand/vmunix.prev

Do I just need to restore (some of) these and reboot again?

Thanks

restore files /etc/ioconfig and /stand/ioconfig from your backup

OR using "ioinit -c" to recreate the /etc/ioconfig.

man ioinit for details.

Hmm..looks like there is an issue. Did u reboot the machine after this is noticed...if you do probably system will not come up.

As you mentioned all those files are required in /stand for system to boot properly. Can you provide us bdf output... just to verify that /dev/vg00/lvol1 is mounted to /stand...

I would restore all the files in /stand with the possible exception of the *.old and *.29 files. Then check that SAM can come up and can look at the kernel parameters before you reboot.
