Hello,

We have a UltraSparc machine (Ultra 2) runing RedHat6.2. After I shut down the machine,  I realized that I accidentally moved /boot/vmlinux-test and /boot/System.map-test files to another disk, which is one of disks of a RAID. The machine cannot boot anymore.

First, I tried to copy back the above two files. I booted it using RedHat CD, mounted the / file system, but I couldn't mount the disk on which the two file current reside. The commands I used are as follows,

mkdir /mnt/a

mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/a       # successful

/mnt/a/etc/raidstart -c /mnt/a/etc/raidtab /dev/md0   

error: /dev/md0 invalid argument

The second method I tried was to boot using /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.16-3, which exists on /boot. But it gave me the following error message:

On Sun4u you have to use Ultralinux (64bit) kernel and cannot use 32 bit Sun4[cdem] versions,

then it returned back to OpenBoot.

Any suggestions will be highly appreciated.
