Dear managers,
our Alphaserver 4100 (OSF/1 4.0D) crashed due to an overheating
problem. After restarting, the boot process gets stuck at "ONC portmap
service started".
If we hit ^C it goes on booting, but then it hangs again when starting
the desktop. If we use command line login instead, the only thing we have
noticed is that the network is not running properly, we only manage to
ping the same machine and only if we use the IP address.
We found an old message with a similar problem in the list. It seemed to
relate it to nfs. We tried not setting up nfs at boot up and got rid of
the "ONC portmap" problem, but we still get stuck at desktop start up
and the network is still not working.
We would appreciate ideas about what else to check...
Thanks,
Carmen
