64bit enviroment errors.

[Rynth]

Hi chaps,

I have set my AIX box to run in 64bit kernel mode, however, I'm now getting errors upon boot.

64bit was enabled with the following:

1. login as root (superuser) and enter the following commands.
2. ln -sf /usr/lib/boot/unix_64 /unix
3. ln -sf /usr/lib/boot/unix_64 /usr/lib/boot/unix
4. bosboot -ad /dev/ipldevice
5. shutdown -Fr
6. Wait for the system to reboot, login as root and run the following command
7. bootinfo -K (if 64 bit application environment is running correctly this should now show 64)

And it gives the following errors at boot:

Its a right puzzler, and I haven't a clue, anyone?

Many thanks,

Ryn.

Doesn't this give you a clue?

Cannot run a 64-bit program until the 64-bit
environment has been configured. See the system administrator.


Can you still login to the system? If so, as root:

smitty restart64

choose Yes and hit enter...

Then reboot and see how it goes.


HTH,
