Thanks to those that responded (Peter Stokes, KK Downing) It appears that I inadvertently restored /usr to a seperate partition while the original disk config held / and /usr together. Restoring /usr to the same partition as / has fixed the problem. -----Original Message----- From: sunmanagers-admin@sunmanagers.org [mailto:sunmanagers-admin@sunmanagers.org]On Behalf Of Rugman, Rob Sent: 26 February 2002 12:55 To: 'sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org' Subject: Following recovery from backup, system fails during boot-up We recently lost the disk containing the root partition of an E3500 running Solaris 8. The disk has been replaced and the affected filesystems were restored to new partitions mounted temporarily from a fresh install of Solaris. If I attempt to boot using the new boot device I receive the following errors: INIT: Command "exec /sbin/autopush -f /etc/iu.ap" failed to execute. errno = 2 (exec of shell failed) INIT: Command "exec /sbin/soconfig -f /etc/sock2path" failed to execute. errno = 2 (exec of shell failed) INIT: Command "exec /sbin/rcS sysinit >/dev/msglog 2<>/dev/msglog </dev/console" failed to execute. errno = 2 (exec of shell failed) INIT: Cannot create /var/adm/utmpx INIT: failed write of utmpx entry:" " INIT: failed write of utmpx entry:" " at which point I get dumped to single user mode. Any suggestions on how to resolve this issue gratefully received :) Rob Rugman Swindon UK _______________________________________________ sunmanagers mailing list sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org http://www.sunmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/sunmanagers _______________________________________________ sunmanagers mailing list sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org http://www.sunmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/sunmanagersReceived on Tue Feb 26 10:51:52 2002
