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
