Hi Ganesh,

I think you should set all the information using the command set_parms and then try a reboot.

Hi:

You probably have a bogus file in the '/etc/rc.config.d' directory. You can keep backup copies of files here _ONLY_ if you follow the rules documented in '/etc/rc.config'.

One way to expose the problem is to do:

# sh -vx /etc/rc.config 2>&1|more

The actual filename will appear as 'fname=' in the traced output with clear syntax errors like you have seen.

Regards!

Hi (again) Ganesh:

If you look at your output you see:

+ fname=gan
+ [ -f /etc/rc.config.d/gan -a gan != core -a gan = gan ]
+ . /etc/rc.config.d/gan
+ NAME VALUE BOOT MIN-MAX UNITS FLAGS
/etc/rc.config[11]: NAME: not found.

This points to the file '/etc/rc.config.d/gan' as the file that should not be in /etc/rc.config.d' (or is misconfigued).

Regards!
