One of the problem did get solve. It was in the file /etc/inittab. After
correcting it I linux started to ask "login:" during startup it
complains about could not execute "/etc/rc.d/rc". I added a dummy line
in that file and then it complained "/etc/rc.d/rc.sysconfig" could not
be executed.
*What these files actually do?*
In the docs it is written that these files have some serious startup
jobs to be done, but I am simply
"touch /etc/rc.d/rc", "chmod 777 /etc/rc.d/rc". I even created
/etc/rc.d/sysconfig in the same way but I fear
some very important thing has been neglected. Swap file installation is
also done in by these files. How to correct this.
The whole story starts with installation itself. While installation
(which I have donw more that 40 times already) there is a exception
during post-install configuration. It used to complain could not open
"/etc/inittab/". So as soon as the file copy used to start i used to
"CTRL+f2" and then in the console
"cat > /mnt/sysimage/etc/inittab"= "id:3:iniddefault:" is added. At
least the installation did get completed but after that the login prompt
did not come. I copied /etc/inittab file from the one of internet
servers using telnet. but problems do not seem do stop at all.
*which of the rpm files hold /etc/inittab file*
Thanks very much
