We have a 4.0f system (PK4) that was installed & Patched in September.
We've power-cycled it numerous times since then. However, this past
weekend, when I went from Single-User Mode to Run-Level 3, after it added
the swap devices, I then saw "*** SYSTEM CONFIGURATION ***" followed by it
doing a configure of my system (just like after the initial OS install).
I can Ctrl-C and cancel the SYSTEM CONFIGURATION and it will continue its
boot normally, if I don't, it will reconfigure all of the subsets (one of
which is LSM) and I'm no longer able to boot because LSM can't find the
disks.
We haven't rebooted in over a month, but since that last reboot, we brought
in an SA whose experience has been mostly with Solaris boxes. I'm thinking
that he tried to clean something up and whatever he did doesn't work the
same way on Tru64 as it does on Solaris. Since he claims to have not done
anything that should have caused this problem, we're stuck trying to find
out what causes the System Configuration to be invoked and put back into
place whatever is necessary for it to not be invoked.
The console session follows.
Thanks,
John Losey
