    Hi guys,

    I was having some problems with my Informix OWS 7.2
    So I shut it down like any dumb DBA would do, and now I can't bring it back up!!!
    I can bring it back up in quesient mode, but whenever I give the oninit command it gives the following error:
    "oninit: Fatal error in shared memory initialization"

    Here's the tail of my online.log.
    16:11:01 Event alarms enabled. ALARMPROG = '/disk12/informix/etc/log_full.sh'
    16:11:05 DR: DRAUTO is 0 (Off)
    16:11:06 Assert Failed: Page Check Error in initchunk

    16:11:12 INFORMIX-OnLine Stopped.
    16:11:12 mt_shm_remove: WARNING: may not have removed all/correct segments

    Also, just before I shut it down, I checked my onstat -d and I got the
    status as "Online (CKPT REQ)"
    Now, what could that be? I'm guessing it's something to do with Checkpoints but that's as far as I can get.
