rc.utils failure after patch installation

[Oliver Schmitz]

Hi,

I am still installing HP-UX 11.i TCOE. After installation of the core system I installed the support plus bundles and it worked fine. We found the patch PCHO_27374 as last recent and due some problmes with HPDPS configuration we installed this script. We did a reboot (it is not recommended but we are finally used to do so due to some surprising behaviour) and after this the boot screen shows no more the check list in the "xmode" but only in text mode. An error message appears before the checklist: -/sbin/rc [41]:048:The specified number is not valid for this command.

We want to repair this and the question is how? Do anybody know something about errors in this patch?

Thank you in advance.

Oliver
