Dear SCO Customer, Support Level Supplement (SLS) ptf7616, the UnixWare 7.1.1 specfs Driver Supplement, addresses the following problem: SLS ptf7616a addresses the following problems: Disk corruption seen with PAE on, and greater than 4GB physical memory (all of which is general purpose) while performing I/O on a VxVM block device. The fix is specifically for a kernel memory corrupting issue and is not specific to PAE or volume manager. Note: PAE mode is enabled by setting ENABLE_4GB_MEM=YES in /stand/boot, or by issuing this during an interactive boot. SLS ptf7616b only adds the option to install in quiet mode.
