of course someone could have manipulated this command, but more obvious, bootinfo is a command with nice outputs for monitoring tools or configuration management databases, and these tools normally don't run as root user
so you might have changed the permission for this command, so it can be run as non root user (since most pvs on the vio server are not part of volume groups, lspv will not work, so you will most likely use bootinfo -s for example)
changing these attributes may lead to other errors in your environment
Run "cksum /usr/sbin/bootinfo" and hopefully someone with a working 2.2.1.4 install can run it too and you can compare the results. I'd show you, but I'm on 2.2.1.3:
Same problem after upgrade VIO to 2.2.1.3, as we updated our SDDPCM driver under oem_setup_env (changes to root instead of padmin !) and smitty update_all:
Since the bosboot worked in our case, we didn't call IBM support.

Hello,
