A tough Ignite problem

[Mark Mitchell]

I was in the process of making a Ignite image
for an offsite DR test. I went and made a preview image of ignite without incident. Then I went to make the tape and it failed with this ...
ERROR: config.recover", line 75: Illegal character: "r"
ERROR: "/var/opt/ignite/recovery/config.recover", line 75: syntax error
ERROR: Problems were encountered while parsing config file:
"/var/opt/ignite/recovery/config.recover".
instl_adm: Config file: "/var/opt/ignite/recovery/config.recover" cannot be parsed.

So I went into the config.recover line 75 and found the problem with the character was here
hw_instance_num = root "root" 0

I think that root might need to be a path and look like this
hw_instance_num += 0/0/0/0 "lan" 0

So the real question is why is it doing this, or is there any way around this?

Which version of OS, which version of Ignite?
I remember I had problems using an old version of Ignite in HP11. Currently I have Ignite B 2.1.26 and is working fine. (to check it run swlist -l bundle |grep Ignite)

I am on 11.0 with Ignite version 1.59

Ignite 1.x has a bug (HP Response Center can confirm it). Upgrate it to Ignite 2.x. You can get the software in any application cd from this year (jun.99, I guess still has the old version). I'am not sure about sept.99, I can check.

I was looking at that, I will have to give it a try, lucky for me that I use hfs so I can skip the patches. That one patch is so huge that it touches everything, scary.
