Booting Problems With The New Kernel - Planar DOME Md4/PCI Installation Manual

Booting problems with the new kernel

The kit installation rebuilds your kernel, but it saves your
existing kernel as , where
/vmunix.pre.KITNAME KITNAME
is the name of the kit.
To resolve booting problems
If your new kernel fails to boot properly after the driver
installation, you can boot the saved kernel at the boot
(SRM) prompt (replacing with the name of
KITNAME
the kit):
>>>boot -fl s -fi /vmunix.pre.KITNAME
This boots single-user mode, using the previous kernel.
When the previous kernel comes up, uninstall
the kit. The X Window System probably will not
start with this kernel because the kit installation
also modifies the X Server configuration file
. Call
/var/X11/Xserver.conf.pre.KITNAME
