root.sh is bulletproof enough. In fact, if it fails without finishing, you might need to delete few files to make it run again - otherwise it will report that existing CRS configuration is already there and exit. The fact that inittab is not updated by root.sh is worrying - something went wrong and you might need to clean up what root sh did and rerun it: - delete /etc/oracle/ocr.loc - zero out OCR and voting disks using dd You might want to enable debug (set -x) in install/rootconfig file to investigate. If inittab is updated but CSS daemon doesn't come up - check /var/log/messages.
