I need to correct one statement Tom, the Athlon box had 3 semaphores in use by another application. Which I killed after that. ipcs then showed it was not using anything and initdb ran ok. The Itanium box was also not using any semaphores and failed. I also did the same on an 5.1-CURRENT Alpha box and it also worked. So I guess the problem lies in the Itanium port. Or could I miss something subtle here? -- Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven <asmodai(at)wxs.nl> / asmodai PGP fingerprint: 2D92 980E 45FE 2C28 9DB7 9D88 97E6 839B 2EAC 625B http://www.tendra.org/ | http://www.in-nomine.org/~asmodai/diary/ Distance lends enhancement to the view... ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command (send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to [EMAIL PROTECTED])
