Lately I've seen this behavior twice, one on HPUX and another on Linux:
Oracle clusterware 10.2.0.1 install went on smoothly and then hang when running root.sh on the 2nd node, while displaying this message:
Startup will be queued to init within 90 seconds.
There were no errors logged on the second server, truss or strace showed the processes waiting...On the first server we saw errors logged on $ORA_CRS_HOME/log/<servername>/alert<servername>.log pointing to a problem accessing the OCR raw device.
on HP the problem was solved configuring the raw devices using a whole LUN as described on the install guide.
on Linux the problem was solved pointing directly to the raw devices instead of soft links to them.

i've made two installations of clusterware 10.2 on Suse Linux Enterprise Server 9 (SLES9) and i've used soft links pointing su raw devices for ocr and voting and i haven't get such problem, why?

thanks for the comment. I don't know the reason of the different behaviour you experienced on Suse.
As a matter of fact technically I don't see a reason for the soft links to be a problem, I just added the note as the workaround that worked for us in ONE specific case. I'll try to check it again.

Hi! im experiencing almost the same problem but mine is when running the root.sh on the first node. It hangs up when queued to init within 90sec. My hardware is an IA64T based architecture. and my linux is RHEL 64bit
Your help would be much appreciate.
