I'm trying to get AFS 3.3 working with HP-UX 9.01 and have run into a very 
perculiar problem. 

I have four HP 710's all running HP-UX 9.01.  The problem is that AFS works on 
two of them and refuses to start on the other two. 

In all cases the kernel extensions load without error but when you execute the 
rc.afsd.small script, on two of the systems AFS starts just fine and on two it 
fails with the message "Bad system call - core dumped".  For what it's worth, 
everything works on a 712/60 running 9.03.

I'm not an HP maven so it's a little hard for me to tell what exactly is 
different about the systems.  The only correllation I've found so far is that 
the two systems where AFS _fails_ have kernel support for "Diskless servers 
and clients".  The 'kernel parameters' are identical on all four systems.

Does this ring a bell with anyone?  Can anyone suggest other things that might 
be different in the systems?

The problem has been reported to Transarc.

Thanks.
