boot error

[KokHwa_1]

Dear all,
Got the following error when boot up HP-UX 11.23.

/sbin/krs_sysinit:
mount: file system table may be corrupt
* The module 'ipf' has been loaded. * The module 'rng' has been loaded.

Appreciate any thought and suggestion. Attached the complete boot up messages.

Cheers. KH.

Looking at your boot log, the first error to note is 'mount: file system table may be corrupt '
This indicates a problem with /etc/fstab.

Subsequently, the messages:
/sbin/rc1.d/S093vxvm-reconfig[47]: /etc/vx/lib/vxcommon: not found
/sbin/rc2.d/S131ipfboot[5]: ps: not found
/sbin/rc2.d/S131ipfboot[5]: grep: not found
/sbin/rc2.d/S620xfs[10]: env: not found
/sbin/rc2.d/S620xfs[10]: grep: not found

seem to indicate either a PATH issue (unlikely because /etc/vx/lib/vxcommon is a fully qualified name), the fact that various files have been removed or that possibly files have been chmod'd to remove execute permissions.

Obviously something untoward has happened on this server, do you have a clue what?

You ought to be able to boot in single user mode and check things out manually (provided you have the necessary binaries of course).

Good Luck,
John

Hi,
lookin at the log there was a hard shut down.


Have you any entry in /var/adm/crash/* ?

are you able to boot from recovery CD ??

HTH,
Massimo

John & Massimo, Thanks for you reply.

Both of you are correct, there was a hard shutdown, but no crash dump found.

John hit right to the point, an invalid entry found in fstab, fixed & the system is up and running again.

Appreciate you help. Have a nice day :)

Cheers. KH.
