Hi,

My original question:

> When I do a 'ps' command, it gives the following error:
> ps: /dev/mem: error on kas: bad address
> ps: could not read kernel VM

The answers:

Thanks to Carl Hughey (chughey@cos.com):
> Make sure the kernel you're running is actually the /vmunix file. Apparently

> Another possibilty is that you didn't get a clean kernel build. May want to

Thanks to Tim Rosmus (tim@mdd.comm.mot.com):
> Sounds like you rebuilt and installed a new kernel in /vmunix, but forgot

Thanks to Mike Frizzell (mfriz@fs-dmos.asictest.sc.ti.com):
> have you not rebooted since your rebuilt your kernel???

The result:

I have opted to re-install the OS and go with just the recommended set of
patches.

Thanks to all who replied for the speed of response and the helpful ideas.
