Hi, I seem to be fighting a losing battle against hp0ux 7.0. I installed 7.0.3 on a series 400 machine (an installation not an upgrade). I select install everything. The installation succeeded, so, I logged on, editted /etc/rc to set the system name. Rebooted. Now when the inetd tries to start it core dumps with a bad system call, as do any subsequent network commands. I have two questions: 1) what's the fix 2) what did I do wrong in the first place. Or is the installation procedure the pile of sh*t I think it is?

Hi there -- sorry that you are having problems -- here are a few thoughts: 1) Did you check /tmp/update.log ? -- Did any errors occur when processing the following filesets: LANLINK LAN_BLD ARPA NS_SERV NFS_INCL NFS_RUN Do you have them loaded on your system ? Did they show up when you selected all filesets ? 2) The fact that your networking commands core dumped with "bad system call" says that the networking code failed to get genned into your kernel. Check your dfile in /etc/conf -- does it have the same lan entries as say dfile.full.lan or dfile.maxservr ? Hope this is helpful ... Jeff Squires $usual disclaimer -- just trying to be helpful .......

You should use your dfile.full.lan to build yourself a new kernal, to start with. Next check out /etc/rc, see what scripts it calls, and make sure that you want them called and that they are there. You may need to get them from /etc/newconfig if they do not exist. Also, make sure that you have an Internet Id number if you are connecting the machine to the net. I don't know where to get them, but someone at HP might be able to tell you. That is as much as I know. The installation tapes have all the required filesets at hand, so the problems you will have now are in configuration. Regards, Bijal
