Hi

Check format of /etc/inittab

Thanks Steve for replying that quick. How should my inittab look like that will tell me there's something wrong?

Hi,

Please look at the /etc/inittab
You have a line that says respawn with a command that exits too soon.

So, please check at the commands you have in this file.

If you have a safe copy of /etc/inittab maybe called inittab.old/inittab.sav/ or inittab.prev you may wish to issue the following :-

diff inittab inittab.??? | grep 'respawn'
(where ??? is old sav or prev as appropriate)

This will list differences since you last saved a good copy of you inittab file, and allow you to review all the new respawn items.

The common reason could be incorrect files placed at /etc/rc.config.d directory.

Hi Joeriz,

You can of course always post your /etc/inittab, so we might be able to look for a typo.

Ciao Joeriz,

Probably there's an error in your /sbin/init.d startup files.

Do a cold install. Alot more reliable.

Also get a new version of inittab in /usr/newconfig/etc/inittab, but if you just loaded the O/S then your O/S is a mess.

[Michael Steele_2]

Oh yeah, what errors in /etc/rc.log? Post them please.
