ERROR INITIALIZING DEVICE INTO THE KERNEL

ITEM: RTA000029290



  Question:                                                                     
                                                                                
  I removed a printer from one of the ports of my 64 port adapter.  When        
  I tried to add another printer, the process hung.  I hit  C to          
  get out and tried again, but this time AIX returned the error:

Response:                                                                       
                                                                                
  The process you started, adding a device to a port, hung in the kernel        
  mode. When you escaped, the job did not clean up after itself, leaving        
  the process in kernel mode.  This port will not be usable until this         
  process is removed. By design, process in kernel mode can not be              
  killed.  Rebooting will usually clean up these extraneous processes.
