RE: [gentoo-embedded] init Id "s0" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes

[Jean Blignaut]

I haven't installed any thing just using the standard stuff - its my
first time with gnap - wasn't going to go too complicated

 

I'm going to burn to disc and test on real hardware maybe it's a vm
issue

I had something like this happen whe I was using mingetty to autologin
and it wasn't installed. Possibly modules problem but fist check you
have agetty installed/configured correctly.

The inittab entry named "s0" exits with errors in too short intervals.
It's a "respawn" entry.

I think this will likely cause it as there's apparently a getty set up
to listen on the serial line #1. Most likely, that device doesn't exist
(yet) at that point. Probably compiled as a module?

I've never seen this before (but I'm not using serial console), but I
think it may be from agetty, too.

So you'll want to check your inittab or kernel config, depending on
whether you want a serial console or not.
