getty message

[j773303]

While the rp5470 boot, it can't login from the console, the getty message as below.
getty : fail to open /dev/tty : no such device or address
Does anyone has the experience how to fix this problem?

The /etc/inittab should have
cons:123456:respawn:/usr/sbin/getty console console


check the file is present
crw--w--w- 1 root tty 0 0x000000 Oct 9 09:25 /dev/console

you can re-create the file

#insf -e

Also do check whether the file is used by another process using

#fuser -u /dev/console

REvert

I check the /etc/inittab and insf -e, but the problem are still exists. I try to login to single user 1, it's ok. But fail to init 2 and init 3. The console will suspend and no prompt. The below message still displays.

"getty: fail to open /dev/tty : no such device or address"

Any suggestion on this problem? Thankx.

You still posted no fuser result...

# ps -f $(fuser /dev/console | sed 's/ */ -p /g')

Best regards...

the last entry on the console line in /etc/inittab is a label used in the file /etc/gettydefs

Make sure /etc/gettydefs is still there, and that there is an entry for console.

( if gettydefs is missing, no ttys should work )
