"Starting Runner ..."

What application do you have that gets started automatically during bootup that might issues this message? You're probably going to have to boot up in single user mode to get a look at things.

Try grepping your startup scripts to see what it might be - grep "Runner" /sbin/init.d/*

Then look through /etc/rc.log (or /etc/rc.log.old) to see if you can find a problem with this application. If you can fix that problem, you'll probably fix your system.

there is no application which starts automatically.System was running without any issues but after a reboot this issue came up. No changes were made to the system

hi,

sometimes, when the server have long uptime,

it could be happen, that hw will stuck, without

any reason, them restart, and the system hase

problem, for example sam HW part is corrupted

or not fully functional.

try to boot to single user mode,

backup your OLDsyslog.log, check the rc.log*

as pete mentioned, check HW problems.

Hi,

Did you tried with single user ?
Is it booting succesfully in single user if yes the boot your machine into single user then try to come into multiuser.

after booting in single user give this command to multiuser

#init 3

yeah its booting in single user mode, I tried booting 1st in single and then putting it in run level 3.But the same result. And there are no hardware errors.

comment all entries from /etc/fstab that are not from vg00, any nfs mounts ....

Hello,

I think runner is part of ISEE software. Try to disable ISEE client at startup. I think there was an option to disable runner at startup in the ISEE configuration file.
