Hello,
I am not sure if this is the right place to inquire about this, but I'm just
trying my luck.
Last friday my workstation worked fine, but after the weekend, somehow it
rebooted, but failed to continue until the GUI.
There was a prompt waiting for my input :
Code:
INIT : entering runlevel :
I tried entering 0-5, but this error appears
Code:
INIT : no more processes left in this runlevel
I've encountered numerous of threads regarding this, but mostly it occurs
during shut down.
What I have done :
1. Use the CD to enter the 'linux rescue' mode --> chroot /mnt/sysimage
2. Checked my /etc/inittab, i have only "id:5:initdefault:"
uncommented.
3. Assuming the file was corrupted, Tried to copy from
/etc/inittab.rpmsave, but there's no such file.
4. So I've added the /etc/inittab with these commands:
id:5:initdefault:
si::sysinit:/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit
l0:0:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 0
l1:1:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 1
l2:2:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 2
l3:3:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 3
l4:4:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 4
l5:5:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 5
l6:6:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 6
ca::ctrlaltdel:/sbin/shutdown -t3 -r now
pf::powerfail:/sbin/shutdown -f -h +2 "Power Failure; System Shutting Down"
pr:12345:powerokwait:/sbin/shutdown -c "Power Restored; Shutdown Cancelled"
1:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty1
2:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty2
3:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty3
4:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty4
5:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty5
6:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty6
x:5:respawn:/etc/X11/prefdm -nodaemon

guration.html> )
After I rebooted, it had successfully entering level 5.
But there were numerous 'Segmentation Faults', which I wasn't able to
capture as it was too fast.(May I know how can I capture all those errors?)
Then, instead of the GUI, a black screen with these prompt came out.
Centos release 5.2 (Final)
Kernel 2.6.18.92.1.13.e15 on an i686
(none) login:
And even I entered a login (root or other users), it came back the same
prompt. No prompt for password, just login.
So I reverted back to the original version of inittab.
Tried id:0-5, still the same error ("no more processes left")
5. fsck : "Running e2fsck on mounted filesystem may cause severe damage
filesystem."So I skipped.
6. fdisk -l :
disk /dev/sda xxxGB
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 13 104381 83 Linux
/dev/sda2 14 17821 14xxxxx 8e Linux LVM
7. uname -r : 2.6.18-92.1.13.e15
8. rpm -qV initscripts
S.?.... T c /etc/inittab
S.?.... T c /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit
9. I tried to access using the single mode, ('a' then 'single' during
boot choice) and succeded.
* fsck :
fsck 1.3.9 (2/5/06)
e2fsck 1.3.9 (2/5/06)
/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00: clean,
e2fsck 1.3.9 (2/5/06)
/boot: clean,
* When I exited the single mode, the same thing appears.
INIT : entering runlevel : 5
INIT : no more processes left in this runlevel
Sorry for the lengthy post.
I am still new at this and I think I am running in circles.
Any suggestions will be much appreciated.
Btw, if possible, I would like to avoid wiping out all my data.
Thank you.
