I have a problem someone might be able to help out with:

Running Open Desktop version 1.0 and developing an application
using the Ingres DBMS, I suddenly one day boot my system only
to find that the Ingres recovery process (probably dmfrcp)
refuse to fire up. After a very long time it reports an error
message just saying that it cannot start. What to do??? 
Could this have been caused by me stopping the system with
a simple haltsys, instead of going through shutserver etc.
Of course I did not haltsys in the middle of transaction 
processing, but maybe somehow the DB-engine was doing something
that I did not know about. Anyway I cannot start my database,
and I seem not to be able to run the rolldb command unless the
database is started, so am i STUCK? :-o

Answer either by e-mail or here.
