Hi, Managers
The original question was about a system crash that seemed to occur
after installing patch DUV32GAS00001-19970328.
4100 systems crashed immediately when starting DECNetOSI upon reboot
but 2100 systems seemed to live a while before crashing. The panic
string and kernel stack trace looked like this:
"delete_pv_entry: mapping not in pv_list"
0 boot
1 panic
2 delete_pv_entry
3 pmap_enter
4 kmem_stack_alloc
5 stack_alloc
6 thread_create_internal
7 procdup
8 newproc
9 fork1
10 fork
11 syscall
Although such problems are hard to deal with, I got the solution
within only two days from Yaacov Fenster:
"I think that if in the meantime you back out patch #89 in 3.2G
(Kernal Improperly Updates Acct Field Correction) you will solve the
problem."
Thanks a lot.
So, Add all patches from the kit but remove the #89.
Yours,
Lars Bro (lbro_at_dscc.dk)
