- Starting nit: In future please give some more details about your
- system, i.e. Series, Model, software release, etc. and in this case the
- type of disk(s).
-
- From the text I can figure out that this is about a Series 700, right?
- If it is a 750 with an internal Micropolis Turbo 660MB disk, then call
- your HP support organization: The "ifree: freeing free inode" panic may
- be caused by a known problem in some of these systems.
-
- I don't have a clue about the LPMC stuff. I am not a hardware type,
- but I am enough hardware type to advise you to talk to a HP hardware
- type about this one too. :-)
