HP box boots stops at run level 2

Patel_3 — Thu, 26 Jun 2003 11:54:36 GMT

I have a similar problem which I am using the fix of setting root to /sbin/sh.

The .profile for users seems to fail at the
. ttysetup ( error = not found).

any ideas why this should happen ?

I'm confused: the title of your message seems to identify one problem, yet your actual message seems to describe something completely different.

If we're trying to discern why the boot process stops at run level 2, check your /etc/inittab to see what the default run level is (in the "init:X:initdefault:" line - X is the default run level.

If we're trying to solve the problem described in your message, I'm not sure what it is you're describing or asking.

Hi,

errorlog and startlog

Check your /etc/rc.log file for errors.

Boot to single user:
ISL> hpux -is

Debug your /etc/rc.config.d directory:

# sh -x -v rc.config

-or-

# init 1
# init 2
# init 3

run in single user mode
mountall
and
check int /etc/rc2.d directory for the start script not properly set.
Maybe that you have create a new recently.

Also note that everything in /sbin/rc#.d dirs and /etc/rc.config.d dir will be executed. So if you've been working there and maybe accidently added something or copied something, better remove it.

# cd /sbin/rc#.d
# ls -lart
