boot hangs

antonio elder prado — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 15:00:22 GMT

Hi,
i needed to change the IP, netmasks and router for a hpux 11.23 machine.
i did change in netconf, and /etc/hosts. i did reboot the server, however it got stuck on start kwdbd.
do you know what it is ? or what is going on?
i can interrupt the bootup with ^\ and bypass everything else, hwoever the lan is not set with nothing showing when i do ifconfig lan0.
any help will be appreciated.
thank you,
./antonio/.

Hi:

Look at your '/etc/rc.log' for problems. Did you make a backup copy of the 'netconf' file in '/etc/rc.config.d' perhaps?

Regards!

Hi James,
thank you for your reply.
Actually i just came back from the computer room, i have discovered what was the problem.
when editing the new ip address i left out the closing ". so it was
IP_ADDRESS[0]="10.88.33.103

when i should have
IP_ADDRESS[0]="10.88.33.103"

thank you,
you were right, it was something to do with netconf...
