Boot error

Daniel Navarro — Wed, 13 Feb 2002 17:19:55 GMT

All,

I'm getting an error message on my visualize J2240 workstation when it boots. The O.S. is hp-ux 11.0
and is a new system. The error began after I created a new logical volume and designated it as Primary Swap and deleted the previous Primary swap. Here is the error message I am getting in the /etc/rc.log file:

Configure HP 100BT interfaces
Output from "/sbin/rc2.d/S323hpbase100 start":
----------------------------
ERROR: missing file "/etc/rc.config.d/hpbase100conf"
"/sbin/rc2.d/S323hpbase100 start" FAILED

Does anyone know what this means and how to fix it. My guess would be that the network card is not able to log on to a LAN and needs some kind of file to overcome the problem. I have yet to connect the workstation to my LAN since I have yet to receive an IP address for the workstation, so I am working on it as a stand-alone system.

Thanks for any help,
Dan N

no you're actually missing a file.

ERROR: missing file "/etc/rc.config.d/hpbase100conf"
"/sbin/rc2.d/S323hpbase100 start" FAILED

If you can't boot/login try in single user mode:

at ISL> hpux -is

then figure out if that file (the first) is there or not.

Later,

I don't want to test but, I'm thinking that you shouldn't have done that and the system can't find the lvol3 (/)
It can find lvol1..

swap is probably still defined by lvlnboot -v to be lvol2 and not your new lvol
(fstab is possibly okay)

I think you need to repair in single user via defining lvol2 to be your primary swap again (lvlnboot -s /dev/vg00/lvol2 - I think)

And add it to you /etc/fstab as before.

You may not be able to boot into single user mode without / (I'm not certain it'll be found) so try

hpux -is -lm
and you should get a system up to repair.

If not recovery cd is your best bet... although I'd call the RC on this one or you'll end up with a potential reinstall and data loss..

Later,
Bill

Hi Daniel,

I think you did a mistake in deleting the primary swap. You should not have done that. You cannot relocate swap in that manner.

Hope this helps.

Take a look at this thread. Berlene mentions that you may be able to copy this file from /usr/newconfig/....

All,

It does not seem to be a problem with adding the new swap I added. I used SAM to create the new logical volume and designated it as swap and primary on boot. I then, using SAM once again, changed the priority of the previous primary swap (lvol2) to priority 2. SAM then prompted me that I needed to designate a new primary swap, so I entered my newly created (device) swap (lvol9) as the new primary swap. I had to do this because my previous swap could not extend, probably because it could not find contiguous disk space to increase the size of the swap. After rebooting I then logged in as root and ran SAM to list all swap files. My new swap on lvol9 showed up as the new primary. Does this mean that I successfuly created the new primary swap?

Your error message is "Configure HP 100BT interfaces
Output from "/sbin/rc2.d/S323hpbase100 start":
----------------------------
ERROR: missing file "/etc/rc.config.d/hpbase100conf"
"/sbin/rc2.d/S323hpbase100 start" FAILED
".
This message is due to your ethernet card configuration in the directory /etc/rc.config.d.

To correct this, you just have to copy the file /usr/newconfig/etc/rc.config.d/hpbase100conf in your directory /etc/rc.config.d.
