Big problem....can't reboot my system anymore - blue screen

[Erwin van der Wiel]

Yes yes yes. I'am ine step further. I can see etc/inittab. Thanks ik was indeed my halt button which was activated ... and i can edit the inittab file. But :-( the file is totaly different than is was before. There is only 1 lines left in the inittab.
It is:
is:s:initdefault:
But i've changed it too
is:1:initdefaul

And i cant change the rights on the initfile because it's a part of the operating system!
Rights: lwrxr-x-r-w root sytsem

But tomorow i will look further.

OK, did you boot from CD or from the garbled disk itself ?

If from the system disk:

mountroot (to make it writable... )then

cd /etc
cat .proto..inittab > inittab
halt

>>>boot

If from CD:

cd /etc/fdmns
mkdir tmproot
cd tmproot
ln -s /dev/disk/dskxa
mount tmproot#root /mnt
cd /mnt/etc
cat .proto..inittab > inittab
cd /
umount /mnt
halt

>>>boot

[Ralf Puchner]

be sure you used the correct inittab file, because it is on the system disk which must be mounted first! (basics -> admin guide)

After you have mounted the disk, copy the .proto or .mrg. copies of inittab over the original one.

Thanks a lot everyone. I'am so happy with you in this forum site.... The server is running. I took the inittab from CD to my device (info Johan Brushe). After that i rebooted the machine and changed the server from single user mode to multi user mode. Than i rebooted the system again and is it working fine.
Ralph Puncher: You sent me very usefull information to resolve the problem but you told me also every-time to take a look at the documentation. Can you tell me where i can find those documentation?

So... now i'am going further with updating the server with MK2 en MK3 patch .... The MK2 was not installed well. But the reason is maybe installing the patch from device /usr7 ...
But when i've got questions i know where i can find the best UNIX experts and i will place the qustions in a new "subject"

Thanks a lot again.

Regards

Erwin

erwin,

the machine documentation is delivered with the machine.

The admin guide can be found on the documentation cd-rom delivered with the os(readable by a pc).

You first.

1. Start a new Forum thread. Leave this old,
dead thread in peace. (Link to it, if you
think it will help.)

2. Describe your hardware and software, and
what has happened recently.
