hi, I just had my system hosed, but was able to recover in an hour with minimal (? will find out soon if not!) damage... however I'm getting the ol'
INIT: Id "2" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes. Now I know WHY its doing this: my /dev/tty2 was hosed with the system, and I don't know how to create a correct /dev/tty2... can someone please tell me how? check out a dir listing: crw--w--w- 1 root root 4, 0 May 31 06:05 tty0 crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 4, 1 May 31 05:50 tty1 -rw------- 1 root root 0 May 31 05:47 tty2 crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 4, 3 May 31 05:50 tty3 crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 4, 4 May 31 05:50 tty4 crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 4, 5 May 31 05:50 tty5 crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 4, 6 May 31 05:50 tty6 crw--w--w- 1 root root 4, 7 Jul 21 1998 tty7 crw--w--w- 1 root root 4, 8 Jan 1 06:32 tty8 crw--w--w- 1 root root 4, 9 Jul 21 1998 tty9 note tty2 is crapped itself... note also how do i have the sizes (?) to increment like that? thanks, Paul
