SCO

Hi to all, I hope that you can help me with this...

I have a DELL 1600SC Server with SCO Openserver Release 5, this runs an ERP program, suddenly give me an error that says:

PANIC: exit - Cannot exec /etc/init (PID 1), status 0x00000200
Cannot dump 130943 pages to dumpdev hd (1/41) : space for only 128000 pages

Dump not completed

I booted with Boot/Root diskettes, and if I mount the hd0root I see that there's no /etc, directory,

what could be happen? It seems that a "link" it's broken, the server had 2 SCSI drives how can I check if there's a "link" broken between the 2 drives? It could be possible that one make the boot and other got the /etc directory

I apreciate any sugestion. (sorry for my english)

/etc is in the root file system, and on the first disk drive.
Does the machine boot into single user mode?
Also you should create the swap space greater than the amount of memory, otherwise a dump will use all the swap space, and (depending on the OS version) then continue writing onto the root filesystem.
What procedure do you use to backup your system?
Does the disk drive make any noise that is different from its usual operation?
