Very clever! Thank you! I will set up future systems remove and reload

Yes, looks like I was right. The majro and minor number of /dev/vmcp is

And it does not mtch the minor number of the vmcp device which was created
by
vmcp.ko.So the device node was stale and the uev version of SLES9 did not
replace it with the new one.
