Initializing log/checkpoint information....-> fails during oninit -isvy

I'm trying to install IDS 7.31 on SCO Unix 5.0.5 on a Pentium II Single CPU PC and I've done all the steps: created raw disk partitions, installed 4GL and Informix Dynamic server, and I've got the onconfig configured. When I run oninit -isvy to initialize the parameters and the root dbspace, the process stops at the following message, then just goes to the unix prompt without any errors: Initializing log/checkpoint information....... Then, it just goes to the unix prompt. Did I miss any critical steps? Pls help. Thanks. -- Posted via http://dbforums.com

After checking the online.log, I found out that I forgot to include the sqlexec service (I use it in my sqlhosts file) in the services file. I'm just not sure about connection between the sqlexec service and log/checkpoint information, though. Yes, it works, after I include the sqlexec service in the services file.
