   - Make sure your copy method preserved all the permissions, especially on **/sbin** and the scripts in **/sbin/init.d** which are critical. Those scripts should be executable and owned by the __root__ or __bin__ users.
   - Do NOT try to eliminate one of the default AdvFS file domains (one for root and another for /usr). As mentioned earlier, the startup scripts reference both **root_domain** and **usr_domain** and if you change their names or eliminate one of them the startup scripts will fail.
+  - Make sure your SRM variables for __boot_file__ and or __boot_flags__ may be incorrect and have old VMS data in there or some other garbage. Your boot file should be your kernel, which is usually __/vmunix__ or __/genvmunix__. Your boot flags should be **A** or **S** but not a number, if it's a number it came from VMS and it's wrong. People who re-use VMS systems for Tru64 will run into these problems often.

+  - Double check your swap is pointing to the right place and working (swapon -s)
+  - Make sure your filesystems are not showing up with weird or generic names. Double check your source and destination device and make sure that your old device name isn't still leftover in a config file somewhere. Most commonly it's the **/etc/fstab** or bad disk-symlinks in **/etc/fdmns**.
+  - Make sure if you use a new system type that any kernel tuning you do makes sense. Ie.. if you take parameters from a system that has 4GB of RAM and try to use them on a big GS1280 with 64GB of RAM then you are almost certainly going to have some bad tuning in there. Double check your __sysctl__ settings with **sysctl -a**.
