vmur.ff8847 Kernel function alloc_chrdev_region failed with error code <error code according to errno definitions>

Explanation

The z/VM virtual unit record device driver (vmur) needs to register a range of character device minor numbers from 0x0000 to 0xffff. This registration failed, probably because of memory constraints.

User response

Free some memory and reload the vmur module. If the z/VM virtual unit record device driver has been compiled into the kernel reboot Linux. Consider assigning more memory to your LPAR or z/VM guest virtual machine.
