FULL PROBLEM DESCRIPTION
------------------------            
After installing bos.up or bos.mp at PTF level 4.3.3.25
(found in maintenance level 5 and higher) on a VideoCharger
datapump machine, MMFS will not start, and will cause the
system to crash with a Kernel PANIC.  System error log
shows a panic string of:
"(desiredSRValue & 0x00FFFFFF) == (currentSRValue & 0x00FFFFFF)".
After installing this PTF, the system must be rebooted in
order for the fix to take effect.

            mmfs.smit.smit 2.2.0.2
