RE: [gentoo-embedded] init Id "s0" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes

I haven’t installed any thing just using the standard stuff – its my first time with gnap – wasn’t going to go too complicated   I’m going to burn to disc and test on real hardware maybe it’s a vm issue   From: Hanni Ali [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, April 05, 2006 2:57 PM To: gentoo-embedded@lists.gentoo.org Subject: Re: [gentoo-embedded] init Id "s0" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes   I had something like this happen whe I was using mingetty to autologin and it wasn't installed. Possibly modules problem but fist check you have agetty installed/configured correctly.

The inittab entry named "s0" exits with errors in too short intervals. It's a "respawn" entry. > ----I also see this in the log: > > agetty: ttyS0: ioctl: Input/output error I think this will likely cause it as there's apparently a getty set up to listen on the serial line #1. Most likely, that device doesn't exist (yet) at that point. Probably compiled as a module? > error communicating with the kernel I've never seen this before (but I'm not using serial console), but I think it may be from agetty, too. So you'll want to check your inittab or kernel config, depending on whether you want a serial console or not. -hwh -- gentoo-embedded@gentoo.org mailing list -- E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mobile: 07985580147 Website: www.ainkaboot.co.uk
