When trying to boot up a Solaris 8 system, I get the following message:

/dev/ksyms is not a 32-bit kernel namelist
cannot open kernel

And it stops booting. This machine was working fine, without any problems, and with all the security patches in it, until this happened.

Does anyone know why this could happen, and how to solve the problem?

Thanks.
Krishani.
