Fellow managers,

I have a DS20E which was recently (last week) upgraded from 4.0F to 5.0A,
then 5.1 - all with AdvFs. This is actually one of 20 systems which are in
the process of being upgraded, but it is currently the only one with this
problem. All has been running well until today, when the developers
decided they needed to reboot. I now see the following on every attempt to
reboot, even after a power-cycle:

                Dev Nodes:
                        ERROR: wrong ldev major # (83,0): /dev/kevm:84
                        ERROR: wrong ldev major # (83,2): /dev/kevm.pterm:84

                Total errors = 2
                bcheckrc: Device naming failed boot.....

The system is now in single user mode.

I searched the archives and found the following in the only matching
posting, but alas, there was no summary.

it reboots and then hangs in single user mode with the following error:
Dev Nodes: Wrong ldev major (#82,00): /dev/kev: 84
Wrong ldev major (#82,00): /dev/kev: 84 Errors 2 bcheckrc:
Device naming failed boot configure or verify.
Please correct problem and continue or reboot.
Has anyone ever seen this before?

Can't seem to find anything in the documentation either.... Knowing that I
am not the first or the only one to experience this perplexing problem
helps, but some helpful information would be even better.

I will summarize.

TIA,
Joyce Johns
