2.6.0 SuSE8.2 - boot script failure

Submitted by Anonymous

hello,

compiling/installing/booting the 2.6.0 kernel works fine.
there are only some failures in the boot scripts.
on a SuSE 8.2 sys the bootscripts from
syslogd, sendmail, (and some other)
give me a "failure" notice - but they are running.
Starting SENDMAIL - fail

/etc/init.d/sendmail status
give me the status : running
pstree -p | grep "sendmail"
shows me that there is a sendmail running
under /proc/[PID from pstree for sendmail]
there is also an entry

hmmm ?
waht could it be ?
does anybody have an idea ?
maybe it is the "startproc" command from SuSE ?

thanks,
mats

Hi!

Try to call the init-script with "bash -x":

buechse:~ # cd /etc/init.d
buechse:/etc/init.d # bash -x ./sendmail start

You can watch the script being executed and you'll see, at which point it fails.

Happy new 2004!

hi,

thanks, for the hint.
but ...
if I start the boot scripts from a console, there is
no failure/error/etc.
it happens only on startup and the programs/daemons are
running - I get only the "fail" mesg from the
suse startup script. the question is, are the programs
running as they should or do they have a lack
of functions/etc.

hmmm, maybe i could remove sendmail from rc.?/S??sendmail and add the
line in boot.local "bash -x /etc/init.d/sendmail"
i will try it.

thanks,
and have a good new years eve party,
mats

Suse 8.2 + kernel 2.6.1 - problem

I have exactly the same problem. I'm running Suse 8.2, recently changed kernel to 2.6.1 - things works fine, but I have the same problems. During boot some scripts failed - startproc returns 7.
Every time I boot different service(s) "failed". sshd or nscd, or syslog. But they are running - just startproc returns 7 - and "failed" is printed. Before I was with 2.4.23 and there were no such problems.

Anyone knows how to fix this?
Thanks in advance
