Jan-Erik,

the reason for the following message:

%SDA-W-LINKTIMEMISM, link time of SYS$COMMON:[SYS$LDR]ERRORLOG.STB;1
( 3-DEC-2004 09:50) does not match link time of image in system
(18-JUL-2006 14:39)

is, that version of ERRORLOG.STB does not match the version of the
loadable execlet ERRORLOG.EXE. This is an error caused by HP, which
shipped a new ERRORLOG.EXE in a patch (actually in VMS82A_SYS-V0500)
and did NOT also ship the corresponding ERRORLOG.STB file (from the
same build) ! You can easily confirm this with DIR/DATE SYS
$LOADABLE_IMAGES:ERRORLOG.*. This error does NOT have anything to do
with being unable to map the address of the MUTEX.

Please do NOT TOUCH (i.e. delete or rename) SYS$BASE_IMAGE.EXE !

Check whether the address given is inside nonpaged pool:

SDA> CLUE MEMORY/LAYOUT
...                                     Base
End           Size
Nonpaged Pool (initial size)      FFFFFFFF.82838000  FFFFFFFF.
82E72000  0063A000
Nonpaged Pool Expansion Area      FFFFFFFF.82E72000  FFFFFFFF.
85004000  02192000
...

If so, please examine nonpaged pool around the address given as the
MUTEX address:

SDA> EXA 824A7E00-100;200 ! please post this data

an then try to find out, which pool packet covers this address

SDA> SHOW POOL/NONPAGED/HEADER 824A7E00-1000;1400 ! please post this
data as well

Look for a packet starting BEFORE the 'MUTEX' address and ending AFTER
that address.

Volker.
