DATAB/db2start hangs.

ENV:    
        AIX 4.1                 Model 7013
        DB2 V2.1

*CUSTOMER REP:
        Linda Thomasson

PROBLEM:
        DB2start hung last night and the process was cancelled 
  not receiving msg that the database was stopped abnormally.

*ACTION TAKEN:
        Checked for db2 processes (there were none), checked
  and cleaned out any ipc for the db2 instance.  db2start still
  hanging.  Checked permissions on /dev/null, /dev, 
  ~/sqllib/bin/db2licd and all appeared fine.

        Talked to customer.  Still unable to start db2 (ie.
  db2start hangs).  Checked permissions (and changed owners
  of /usr/lpp/db2_02_01/bin/* to root:bin), other appeared fine.
  Dropped the instance and then attempted to create a new
  instance and it (db2icrt) failed indicating a problem 
  creating bp/queue.

  Looked around and discoved that db2sysc was linked to db2sysc_41
  which indicates that DCE is/was installed.  Customer then indicated
  that DCE was installed but she removed it.

  relinked /usr/lpp/db2_02_01/bin/db2bp to db2bp_32
           /usr/lpp/db2_02_01/adm/db2sysc to db2sysc_32
           /usr/lpp/db2_02_01/lib/libddce.a to libddce_32.a

  were then able to create the instance (db2icrt), but db2start
  still hangs.

  Finally deinstalled db2 and reinstalled from 2.1.2 CD.
  Then created the instance and after about 2 1/2 minutes
  db2start completed.
 *ACTION PLAN:
        OK to close per customer.
