Description Maksymilian Kusmierek 2002-08-06 10:18:47 UTC

I have a problem:
 INIT : Id "cX" respawning too fast. Disabled for 5 min. Where  x=1 to 6
What shall I do now? I need a quick answer. I can attach my kernel config
(menuconfig).

i had this problem when there were issues loading the glibc libraries ...
more specificly,  /lib/{libc.so,ld-linux.so}

once i fixed those 2 files init worked fine

Are you using an x11 xdm-ish startup, and did you specify a DISPLAYMANAGER in
rc.conf ?

Well, I have repaired it, it was devfs fault ant different names in inittab 
(for consoles) they were tty and should be vc. I just wonder why it is not 
working automaticly.
