[ale] Upgrade - (Insanity)

[Geoffrey Myers]

I'll take a stab at it although this information is based on my previous
experience with Progress under SVR4, anyway, as I recall, the 'file not found'
error for a semaphore indicated that you tried to access a non-existent
semaphore, that is, either one that was not 'created' yet, or it is possible you
tried to create it and you exceeded the maximum number of semaphores the kernel
permits.  Under SVR4, this required the modification of a kernel tuneable.  I'm
not sure about Linux, but maybe it will point you in the right direction.

}I have "tried" to upgrade to Red Hat 4.1 (Infomagic).  I ended up having
}to do a complete reinstall.  Not FUN!  Now I cannot run my Progress
}database in multi-user mode.  Why?
}"Unable to create semaphore ste, errno=17."  Error 17 means "file not
}found".  This worked fine on my 2.0.0 kernel but not on 2.0.27.  I have
}to get this going.  It's what I do for a living.  Anybody got any ideas?
}
}By the way, I have iBCS installed with insmod, and the SCO shared libs
}installed 'casue my Progress development system is SCO.  The kernel
}compiles with no apparent problems.
