No Login Prompt Show

[Dummy_Guy]

I am using L2000 Server Version B.11.00
Recently I am doing a patch upgrade via Patch Bundle
http://www1.itrc.hp.com/service/patch/releasePage.do?BC=main|releaseIndexPage|&releaseId=5013-2091

HWE1100(B.11.00.0403.3) Hardware Enablement Patches for HP-UX 11.00, March 2004
QPK1100(B.11.00.64.4) Quality Pack for HP-UX 11.00, March 2004

After I apply QPK1100 it works fine but after I apply HWE1100, it reboot and telnet users can't see login prompt. Users only have blank screen and cannot ftp either.

No Failure in /etc/rc.log

Can anyone help?

Hi,

can you provide more details :

have you tried to ping the server from outside ?
is telnet and ftp the only services affected ?
what about ssh ?

check /etc/inetd.conf and see if they are enabled , ie whether the telnet and ftp lines are commented ?
--- if its commented then uncomment them and run inetd -c and try telnet again .

you should get some error atleast , either a connection closed or connected refused etc....

Hi,

problem could be due to
PHNE_24762:s700_800 11.00 telnet kernel and telnetd(1M) patch.

there is a superseeded one PHNE_32748, try installing this one (required reboot).

RD,
I can ping,

Your trick doesn't help... It only make the server to refuse the connection.

I can connected via telnet but the "Login" prompt doesn't show.

It is just hanging in there. doing nothing

Hi,

Since everything was fine until you installed the HWE1100 patch set, i find that one of them PHNE_24762 is for telnetd and is superseeded by PHNE_34768.
So see if you are able to install this patch
PHNE_34768.

Hi,

you can try to boot from previous kernel, see also this thread:

BTW - from this thread:

maybe it's better to install HWE first, then QPK - or both together.
