hi ;

stop or start scripts are located in /sbin/rc.x/ directories. /sbin/rc script run this scripts and use some functions from /sbin/rc.config. please look at this two files and compare them with another system at the same patch level..

It seems everything is working fine. It shutdown and restarted.

Your only problem is the mysterious "stty: : Not a typewriter" messages and those long lines.
And this jumbled message:
U.S. GOVERNMENT SECURITY NOTICE SD_CDROM archive bin ...

It is almost as if there was a "ls /" intermixed?

The stty message may be related to the long lines. The whole purpose of those dots is to fill the width of the terminal. Perhaps if it can't figure out the tty width from $COLUMNS, then it picks a very wide default? ~1760 dots seems a little large.

I'm not sure these are important:
WARNING[10]: BMC System Event Log is full
\EFI\HPUX\AUTO ==> boot vmunix -lq
Console is on a Serial Device

I thought -lq was "Boot the system with quorum override option", not normally used?

What type of console do you have to be "Serial"?
