You need to use serial console on these boxes, which is described in the Gentoo/MIPS Handbook[1]. I'd recommend disabling the 'keymaps' and 'consolefont' services at boot (rc-update del keymaps ; rc-update del consolefont IIRC, could be 'rem' instead too). > * Setting user font ...Couldnt open //dev/tty1 > ---------------------------8<---------------------------- > INIT: > Id "c4" > IId "c2 > INIT: Id "c3" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes > INIT: Id "c5" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes > INIT: Id "c6" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes > INIT: no more processes left in this runlevel Yep, init keeps trying to start getty's on those consoles, and they keep failing. This is a symptom of not having true local consoles. See the above link to the handbook on how to fix this. (BTW: in future emails to the list, could you _please_ not top-post when replying? It _really_ makes it difficult to read threads when posts end up in reverse-cronological order, as one has to mentally, re-order the posts.) - -- : ____ _ Stuart Longland (a.k.a Redhatter) :/ \ ___ ___ __| |__ __ __ Gentoo Linux/MIPS Cobalt and Docs :- ( ) \ / \ ; \(__ __)/ \ / \ Developer : \ // O _| / /\ \ | | | /\ | /\ | : / / \ /__| / \ \ | | | \/ | \/ | :(___/ \____/|_; |_| \_/ \__/ \__/ http://dev.gentoo.org/~redhatter Footnotes: 1. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFCzeqRuarJ1mMmSrkRAoTTAKCN4+ABJtvIdMpti3QRTl+wlaUe4wCeKemi G2ecJTTYQ12iQVVuET8Rjmo= =AKmq -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- gentoo-mips@gentoo.org mailing list
