[comp.unix.questions] Boot time message on a SparcStation

Hello,
     I am curious about a message that appears at boot time
on a Sun SparcStation.

WARNING: some processes hung (won't die); ps axl advised

What does this mean?? who can a process be active when there
is no OS-kernel active ?? 

Thank you for your consideration.
