hi
One of our SCO 5.0.6 server is crashing every second or third time during rebooting with kernel panic.
According to this SCO manual:
http://wdb1.sco.com/kb/showta?taid=106181&qid=1689366546&sid=504668569&pgnum=1
I've saved dump image into a floppy and I've done the following steps:
# cd /tmp
# ldsysdump image
Use Floppy Drive 0 (/dev/rfd0) by default.
Press <Return> to use the default device.
Enter valid Floppy Drive number to use if different from default.
Enter t to use tape drive.
>
Enter type of floppy used to save the image :
1 - double density 360 KB diskettes
2 - quad density 1.2 MB diskettes
3 - double density 720 KB diskettes
4 - high density 1.44 MB diskettes
n - no, QUIT
> 4
Insert diskette and press <Return>, or type q to quit >
Please wait.
dd ibs=18k count=80 if=/dev/rfd0135ds18 obs=1k |
uncompress | /etc/sysdump -qi- -o image
uncompress: stdin: not in compressed format
dd: write error:
# crash -d image
dumpfile = image, namelist = /unix, outfile = stdout
Read error on bootinfo structure at 0x800
BTW I cannot mount this floppy with a dump file:
# mount /dev/fd0 /mnt
mount: cannot stat '/dev/fd0'
Howto read this dump file?
