Diagnosing a PROCGONE Bugcheck?

» close window

The Question is:

 
I am trying to install the Y2K kit -
ALPY2K01_062 on a VMS cluster.  The ALPCLUSIO01_062 kit is already
installed.
 
 The cluster does not start up after installation on the Alpha server 1000 -
do I need a BIOS (or equivalent) upgrade for this unit.
 
 What happens is that after the Open VMS banner appears but before any other
messages I get a PROCGONE - Process gone bugcheck and memory dump.

The Answer is :

 
  Contact the OpenVMS Customer Support Center for assistance in
  debugging the PROCGONE error -- details and the contents of the
  crashdump (if any) and particularly R0 will be required.
 
  One of the potential causes of a PROCGONE bugcheck is a severely
  fragmented system disk...
 
  As for the recommended firmware for OpenVMS Alpha V6.2, please
  check the firmware website for details.  (See the FAQ...)
