swlist produces Memory Fault (coredump)

[Steven Richards]

Hi everybody,

I have an RP5470 running 11.00 which I installed 2 softare packages on:

B6192AA & B6733AA They're DCE Kenrel thread packages and documentation

and then adjusted a couple of kernel parameters:

Changed maxfiles from 120 to 256
Changed maxssix from 134217728 to 262144
Changed maxdsiz from 1073741824 to 1048578

The kernel parameter changes and software were recommended by the openview install analysis. This all worked fine but since the reboot the swlist command gives me a coredump everytime.

Any ideas? Anything to do with reducing the kernel parmaeters perhaps?

Hi

On the core file:-

What core
strings core

also search the forum on analysing core files

Hi

maxssiz and maxdsiz are too low

look at
file core

when you get a dump and post the message.

Yes it would appear I've made a bit of silly mistake with the Kernel params and mis-read the warnings I was getting whilst installing openview, as it was just warning me about the params and NOT telling me to change them, d'oh!

I'm going to set maxssiz and maxdsiz back to what they were and reboot, I suspect this will fix the problem.

Thanks for listening.

Hi,
check
#file core
#what core
#strings core | more

Strings core will not help much.If file core is giving SIGSEGV then it is segment violation. you have to recheck kernal parameters maxdsiz, maxtsiz.

Hope this will help.
