the solution
|
|
|
Hi,
the solution to this problem is, to edit the file /etc/.sysIDtool.state and there change the 1 to 0 in order to activate what the sentece says.
When you edit this one you will understand
And then touch /etc/.UNCONFIGURED
and DONE!
Test it
it works  |

sys-unconfig runs, prompts to press a key (to shutdown and reboot)
system reboots and I would expect to see it come back asking for the
setup info, hostname, ip, gateway etc, but instead it just boots to a

I've read man pages, for sys-unconfig, see the sysidtools stuff, but
am not sure what to do/run to get the system to ask for these values
again.
Done this sys-unconfig 100 times in the past over the years, never
seen this.
Any suggestions?
What if you have 2 bootable drives and you are now booting off from the |
alternate drive instead of the one you just sys-unconfig'ed? I'm not
sure, I just want to point out a possible situation. |

So it should. You might try a re-install and when you get to
"This machine is upgradeable" . Just use the original install CDs.
With luck you get the machine back in a sane state with all or
most of your addons intact sans patches. Then I'd come up in single
user
mode and remove JASS - then reinstall it if you feel you must.
Ive been seeing too many posts about JASS causing difficulties lately :
<
Or, just do a fresh install. What you what is a known baseline to start
with
if a box is a "major part" of your network.. |

It only prompts if it can't get them through other means. It may be
gathering some via DHCP or rpc.bootparamd (but I wouldn't expect it to
be completely promptless).
You can can try to either force everything manually by editing the files
directly, or unplug the network during the boot after sys-unconfig so
that the resource isn't found. See if that makes a difference.

check /var/sadm/system/logs/sysidtool.log for errors
I believe sys-unconfig creates /etc/.UNCONFIGURED and some init.d
scripts check for its presence:
rc2.d/S30sysid.net
rc2.d/S71rpc
rc2.d/S71sysid.sys
Have you removed/replaced any of those scripts?
|
Jass messed with some of those
I put back a copy of the S71sysid.sys and tried booting again.
Have also tried creating a /etc/.UNCONFIGURED file (with touch)
and booted, -> no joy
I'll make sure all 3 files are there and try booting again. |

If all you need to do is setup the networking, why not use the |
'ifconfig' command instead?
# man ifconfig
Unfortunately I don't know why your sys-unconfig isn't working. |
