lsm fails to start

Hi managers,

An ES40 running tru64 v5.1 crashed a couple of hours ago (w/o any warning)
At startup I had to attach a serial console, for the system did not go to
the graphics console. (just a blue screen, not the prompt)

A show dev shows all the devices an in el is nothing worrying.
Booting in single user mode succeeds, but after that I am not able to start
de lsm volumes!

ps -ef | grep vol shows "vold -k boot" running.
The system says that I'm not privileged to run voldctl or voldisk (!)
mount -u / succeeds, but lsmbstart gives:
vold not enabled for transactions.
vold -k -m enable doesn't solve anything.

mount /usr (or any other volume) says:
/dev/vol/rootdg/usrvol is an invalid device or cannot be opened

I also tried to boot from the os mirror disk (dkb100 instead of dkb0)
This doesn't solve anything. (all the same errors)

I have no idea what to try next.

Any ideas, hints?

regards,
Alex Harkema
