Thanks to Jan Mark Holzer from HP Long Term Planning and Support Group for his
quick response.

In Jans reply he pointed me into the direction of it being the hotswapd
 daemon not responding. So what I did was, that I looked to see if the
hotswapd was running on the system which it wasn't so, I then checked
the /etc/inittab file and then found that it was not listed in
the /etc/inittab but it was in my other 5.1a machines so I added the nessary
entries in to the inittab and then typed init q and now all is well.

The /etc/inittab entry that was missing

hsd:Ss:sysinit:/sbin/hotswapd < /dev/console > /dev/console 2>&1

Thanks in advance
