Hello All, It's been a while since i've posted here. I have just set up a RH Linux 7.2 machine, and I have been having various probems. The first problem was that it wouldn't install and i got the message:
"Install exited abnormally" before the installation had copied any files. I installed it on another machine, and moved the hard drive to the original machine, and it booted, but it would not start X windows, for various reasons. The problem i am having now though, which might be caused by the same thing as all the other problems is that it won't finish booting. It gets up to "Starting system logger" and the seems to freeze. I left it and came back half an hour later, to find the folowing messages: INIT: Id "1" respawning too fast: Disabled for 5 minutes INIT: Id "2" respawning too fast: Disabled for 5 minutes INIT: Id "3" respawning too fast: Disabled for 5 minutes INIT: Id "4" respawning too fast: Disabled for 5 minutes INIT: Id "5" respawning too fast: Disabled for 5 minutes INIT: Id "6" respawning too fast: Disabled for 5 minutes INIT: Id "x" respawning too fast: Disabled for 5 minutes probable hardware bug: clock timer configuration lost - probably a VIA686a motherboard probable hardware bug: restoring chip configuration probable hardware bug: clock timer configuration lost - probably a VIA686a motherboard probable hardware bug: restoring chip configuration probable hardware bug: clock timer configuration lost - probably a VIA686a motherboard probable hardware bug: restoring chip configuration with the following message being repeated: probable hardware bug: clock timer configuration lost - probably a VIA686a motherboard probable hardware bug: restoring chip configuration and every 5 minutes: INIT: Id "1" respawning too fast: Disabled for 5 minutes INIT: Id "2" respawning too fast: Disabled for 5 minutes INIT: Id "3" respawning too fast: Disabled for 5 minutes INIT: Id "4" respawning too fast: Disabled for 5 minutes INIT: Id "5" respawning too fast: Disabled for 5 minutes INIT: Id "6" respawning too fast: Disabled for 5 minutes INIT: Id "x" respawning too fast: Disabled for 5 minutes would appear. The motherboard is an ASUS A7A-266E motherboard with an ALi� MAGIK 1 Chipset (M1647 North Bridge with 1535D+ South Bridge). Please let me know if you need any more information, and im very grateful for any help at all.
