Re: /var/adm/messages

A common cause of these kinds of messages is that you have built a new kernel but have not yet rebooted so that /stand/vmunix doesn't match /dev/kmem. Another cause is booting from a different kernel when the utility defaults to /stand/vmunix.
If it ain't broke, I can fix that.

The servers uptime is 97 days and the kernel is also not modified.

Re: /var/adm/messages

hi,

which user running the dmesg command? root?...

check the permission of /stand/vmunix.

got the "Can't get kernel namelist" if change the permission of /stand/vmunix to 750.
