Hi everybody,
looking at the mailing list's archive it seems like I am not the first
one to experience this behavior, but I haven't found any solution yet:
When booting, I get a
INIT: Cannot create /var/adm/utmpx
INIT: failed write of utmpx entry:" "
INIT: SINGLE USER MODE
Type control-d to proceed with normal startup, (or give root password
for system maintenance):
Sadly, I cannot even get into single user mode, as any input is ignored
and the machine just seems to be dead.
This is Solaris 9 on a V440, patchcluster Nov05, nothing special and
nothing had been done to that machine until I rebooted it for maintenance.
I booted from CD, checked /var/adm/utmpx access rights, could mount all
the devices rw, did a successful fsck, tried to boot with only / mounted
(and a new /var/adm/utmpx created), but so far nothing was successful.
And this according to Murphy has to happen when the machine'll go
productive next week...
I saved many a machine, but this leaves me quite helpless...
