INIT Timeout reached - error in writing to wtmp file
On reboot of K260 receive the following message:
/sbin/auto_parms: DHCP access is disabled (see /etc/auto_parms.log) System just sits and after several minutes receive the INIT Timeout reached message. I then can break out of the hang with a CTRL/SHIFT/PIPE then system continues with Sxxx - start scripts.
Has anyone seen this? All scripts/files look O.K. This just started out of nowhere. Server is now configured as DHCP server.

Re: INIT Timeout reached - error in writing to wtmp file
You probably got DHCP enabled. It hung while biootup because it is waiting for the DHCP server to assign it a IP address.
Check etc/rc.config.d/netconf
The parameter is "DHCP_ENABLE"
Change this value to "0" (zero) so that the system will not attempt to acquire the IP address from the DHCP server.
Then do this :-
# cd /sbin
# chmod -x auto_parms
This disables the auto_parms script from trying to start DHCP. Finally, reboot.

Re: INIT Timeout reached - error in writing to wtmp file
The first thing I did was check the /etc/rc.config.d/netconf. The DHCP_ENABLE is set to 0. I had found the doc ids KBRC00001152 and the A5252096. But these related to 11.0 We upgraded from 11.0 to 11.11 and system boot fine for awhile. After I break the hang with the ctrl/shift/| all the startup scripts run O.K.
I will change the permissions on the auto_parm file and reboot next Monday morning. I will let you know how it works. On our development server (D380) upgraded to 11.11 first and have not had any problems with reboots. The permissions on the auto_parm file are the same on both systems. Thanks for the help. I'll see what happens Monday
