Category: Release/Branch: Bering Group: None Status: Closed Priority: 5 Submitted By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Assigned to: Mike Noyes (mhnoyes) Summary: bering /sbin/getty problem Initial Comment: Hello, I have been playing with the bering LEAF distribution. Its very nice and I like it so far however I am having a little problem I was hoping someone on your end could help me with. I am trying to get the firewall to run on a laptop for power concern reasons and have got the distribution disk working and configured like I want with the modules and packages I think I need. The disk boots and runs fine in several laptops I have tried however the target laptop shows a problem. The boot disk gets all the way through the installation, says finished and then goes into this loop of : cannot execute "/sbin/getty" add infinitum. Then it says something about respawning to quickly and freezes up on me. I have traced around on another PC to the getty call I think, in INIT. I dunno could you offer some suggestions I am kind of stuck.

I just figured the getty thing might ring a bell. I cant't make a fresh image until I get back to the library, my home computer has a really hard time making the disk images. Even the library was like about one in 6. The disk I have works fine however I have booted up on 3 machines and many several of times played with it, update the modules and packages, no problem. I don't suspect the disk but who knows!
