Re: System ask for runlevel at boot

The /etc/inittab file on your system might be damaged somehow.

 

Normally the default runlevel is specified on the first line of /etc/inittab, which should look like this:

init:3:initdefault:

 A "factory default" inittab file can be found at /usr/newconfig/etc/inittab: you should check your current /etc/inittab should contain at least all the lines of the factory default inittab, unless you have an extremely good reason to remove something.

 

Certain HP-UX components (e.g. OnlineJFS, CIM/WBEM, EMS resource monitoring) and other software may add extra lines to /etc/inittab when installed.

Re: System ask for runlevel at boot

Hi:

 

if boot init does not find an initdefault  entry in inittab, it requests an   initial run level from the user at                       boot time.

 

man 4 inittab

Hello,

thaks for replies.

 

I have seen that inside /etc/inittab it miss this entry:

 

init:3:initdefault

 

Now is ok.

 

Thanks
