Re: Oracle on RHEL4 with ASM problem

When ASM throws this error I have to comment out this entry in inittab, run 'init q', uncomment the inittab entry and run 'init q' again.
This fixes the problem.

I don't have a copy of this script kicking around here, but it sounds like it's timing out or locking somehow. Seems like they (Oracle) are using a cross between SysV init scripts and init(1) handling; have you tried running either:

/etc/init.d/init.cssd status #(/may/ not work)
/etc/init.d/init.cssd restart #(should work)

as root?

Failing that, you may able to hack that script to put e.g. "sleep 5" at the top -- this is a dirty hack; hopefully running the script by hand should give you some more information.
If the sleep trick fixes it, then I'd suggest that that script is restarting too quickly for init(1) to assume that it's successful - you should see messages in /var/log/messages that say something like
init: process h1 respawning too quickly -- disabled for 5 minutes.
