vparboot fails...

[Giles H Davidson]

I have just rebooted one of my vpars, but I can no longer get it to boot...

vparboot -p part4 gives...

vparboot: Booting part4. Please wait...
Error reading program header
Failed to load (0/0/0/2/0.6.0;)/stand/vmunix

I have also tried varboot -p part4 -B alt but it is the same (just a different h/w path)...

have you tried vparboot -p part4 -b /stand/vmunix.prev to see if there is a previous kernel?

If tha fails, I would suggest you have a problem with the disc, or somehow the kernels have been damaged/removed, or the hardware path is somehow incorrect
