I had the same problem, syslogd was taking 97-98% of CPU time, because of some bad file number error messages... I corrected it by commenting out 3 lines in /etc/syslogd.conf starting with news... probably the directory /var/log/news wasnt created and syslogd tried to write to it...

It is probably of interest to see what that last message was. I is most likely that process that is overloading syslogd. The other problem relates to loadlin. After installing Debian 1.2 with the kernel sources (and compiling a kernel), I cannot get loadlin to successfully boot into linux. When loadlin starts, I get the 'Loading..' and then I quickly get screens and screens of thing like '[sdfq2134345]'. This same kernel works fine when booting from the floppy. What am I doing wrong? You need a newer version of loadlin. 1.6 is available in the misc section of the 1.2 distribution and will load your kernel for you.

Actually, it probably isn't safe for a script to remove these lines, as they might break something else which references them. Syslogd.conf is a fantastic traffic cop, but it can't do its job unless the right entries remain in the file. --Pete ___ Peter J.

Which message was repeated 123456 times? You hace to resolve this problem which does cause the message?
