Symptoms

While patching to Patchset 4 (PS4) the start and kill scripts in /etc/rc.d/* get the wrong numbers.

The numbers are:

./rc.d/rc4.d/S27ipmi
./rc.d/rc1.d/K73ipmi
./rc.d/rc2.d/S27ipmi
./rc.d/rc3.d/S27ipmi
./rc.d/rc0.d/K73ipmi
./rc.d/init.d/ipmi
./rc.d/rc5.d/S27ipmi
./rc.d/rc6.d/K73ipm

Per Header:

# chkconfig: - 13 87
# description: OpenIPMI Driver init script
#

so S13 and K87.

The detailed description is that chkconfig does not add the ipmi script correctly:

[root@xxxxx]# find . -name *ipmi
./rc4.d/S13ipmi
./rc1.d/K87ipmi
./rc2.d/S13ipmi
./rc3.d/S13ipmi
./rc0.d/K87ipmi
./init.d/ipmi
./rc5.d/S13ipmi
./rc6.d/K87ipmi

[root@xxx]# chkconfig --del ipmi

[root@xxx]# find . -name *ipmi
./init.d/ipmi

[root@xxx]# chkconfig --add ipmi

[root@xxx]# find . -name *ipmi

./rc4.d/K73ipmi
./rc1.d/K73ipmi
./rc2.d/K73ipmi
./rc3.d/K73ipmi
./rc0.d/K73ipmi
./init.d/ipmi
./rc5.d/K73ipmi
./rc6.d/K73ipmi

Steps to reproduce

1. chkconfig --del ipmi
2. chkconfig --add ipmi
