Hi Mark. I noticed /sys/class/misc/vmcp was 10 63
OSA-LNX1:~ # cat /sys/class/misc/vmcp/dev 10:63 So I deleted /dev/vmcp and manually created the node as 10 63 and now it works just fine. Thanks for your help. Susan _____________________ Hi Mark.

Which distribution are you running? On SLES, you can add vmcp to the list = of modules that need to be in the initrd by editing /etc/sysconfig/kernel INITRD_MODULES=3D"vmcp" Mark Post ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
