Check if any filesystems are full, possibly /var or / could be full which i guess could cause this. Break the boot sequence by pressing break key or ctrl+c, or ctrl+d and then have a look at the /etc/rc.log file...

Hi

Thanks for reply.

I have checked file systems sizes and found ok.

Only after syslogd file removed from /sbin/init.d directory , we could boot but syslogd is not running at present.

pl. reply asap

Which means you have corrupt /etc/syslog.conf file
copy a fresh copy of syslog.conf file from /usr/newconfig/etc/syslog.conf and then try to start the syslogd daemon manually
/sbin/init.d/syslogd start

Cheers

Hi

Thanks for your help to resolve this.

We could find the solution...

syslogd daemon was starting with debug mode and was preventing system from further booting. Removed the "-d" option from /etc/rc.config.d/syslogd file syslog options and its working fine now.

Thanks & Regards
