    i've done a update to ML7 (smit update_all) and the result is a good
    working partition, but when i do a reboot the systems is not coming up, it crashes with a message like
    'savebase data memory allocation failed' and the 'ok>' prompt
    anybody experience with this ?
    i've tried it a few times, the result is everytime the same, but as a kind of workaround the following seems to work fine :
    1) update to ML7
    2) make a mksysb
    3) reboot
    4) system hangs : reboot (and install) from mksysb (2)
    system run's at ML7 fine and can reboot normal.
    any suggestions ?
    because this is not quite the way as it should be done
