Hello,
once in a while I hear my harddisk grrrrrrrrrrrgrrrrrrrrrrrr for 5 till 8 minutes. I notice that I cannot putty to my machine anymore and some websites are not available like http://neutcomp.xs4all.nl/gallery/
But other are like http://neutcomp.xs4all.nl/stats.nl and /phpsysinfo
When I look what message there is on my machine it tells me:
Code: | INIT Id "c2" respawning too fast |
I cannot find what problem causes this problem.
Can anyone help me out with this problem?
If you need more info just let me know!
Thanxx

It sounds like there's an error in your /etc/inittab. This file specifies which processes are run on each terminal for each runlevel, among other things, and the processes running on tty2 is dying on run, so the system is automatically restarting it.
Here's what the relevant section looks like on my (default) inittab.
Code: |
c1:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty1 linux
c2:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty2 linux
c3:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty3 linux
c4:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty4 linux
c5:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty5 linux
c6:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty6 linux

I would be that your c2 line doesn't match the others. |
