Dealing With Problems Recovering from a System Panic Recovering from a System Panic A system panic simply means that the operating system encountered a condi- tion that it did not know how to respond to, so it halted your system. System panics are rare and not always the result of a catastrophe.
Dealing With Problems Recovering from a System Panic NOTE: It is important to maintain an up-to-date backup of the files on your system so that, in the event of a disk head crash or similar situation, you can recover your data. How frequently you update these backups depends on how much data you can afford to lose.
Dealing With Problems Recovering from a System Panic Procedures for Recovering from a System Panic Step 1: The Panic Message In a log book, record and categorize the panic message displayed on the sys- tem console. The panic message will tell you why the operating system pan- icked.
Page 163
Dealing With Problems Recovering from a System Panic If the problem reappears on the device or if the hardware failure appears to be associated with an interface card or an internal component of the system module, you should refer the problem to your HP service representative. Proceed to Step 3, Rebooting Your System|.
Page 164
Dealing With Problems Recovering from a System Panic Step 3: Rebooting Your System Once you have checked for and corrected any problems from Step 2, you are ready to reboot your system. You can reboot your system using the Reset switch on the panel of the Model 745.
Page 165
Dealing With Problems Recovering from a System Panic If the reason your system panicked was because of a corrupted file system, fsck will report the errors and any corrections it makes. If the problems were associated with your root file system, fsck will ask you to reboot your sys- tem when it’s finished.
