9723.0. "Motify cannot use after swap the disk" by HGOSPS::MASCOTTANG () Tue May 06 1997 07:18

    Customer extracts the system disk from one ALPHA-1000/400 to another
    ALPHA 1000/400 system. He finds that he cannot restart the Motify.
    Customer also changes the nodename. Customer already booted the
    generic VMSUNIX and then to perform a configuration again. Customer
    can't use Motify again. Would any suggest how to fix the problem
    for customer.

	What is "Motify"?  The kernel, /vmunix, (not VMSUNIX) is built
	to work on a specific system.  While two systems might be the
	same model, they may have subtley different configurations
	that prevent the same kernel from working on each.  Also, the
	the fstab file indicates what devices particular file systems
	are on and if the device names change as the result of moving, 
	these don't change without editing by the user.
