Our Alpha Server 2100 4/200 is crashing on boot up.
I was attempting to rebuild the kernel. Here's the steps I took up until
the crashing started.
# cp /vmunix /usr/vmunix.save
# cp /genvmunix /vmunix
# /usr/sbin/shutdown -r +5 "Shutting down to build new kernel"
upon reboot the system crashes with the following. It starts to boot
and gets to a certain point and then
trap: invalid memory write access from kernel mode
faulting address: ...
pc of failure instruction:
ra contents at time of fault:
sp contents at time of fault:
panic (cpu 0): kernel memory fault
syncing disks
DUMP:
What do I need to do get get the system up quickly. Or is this root disk
gone south.
Any comments, directions, or pointers are always appreciated.
thanks,
Greg
