All seems to be OK in /dev , but :
crw------- 1 root tty 5, 1 Jan 27 20:31 console
a2000:/dev# echo '' >/dev/console
bash: /dev/console: No such device
The last message is not OK, the file is here, but nothing is behind, on
another machine (without the problem) :
crw------- 1 root tty 5, 1 2004-02-12 23:41 console
k2000:/dev# echo "================" >/dev/console
k2000:/dev#
I get two or three message every second (7150 messages between 07:30 and
23:30) ....
For the other messages I get messages every 5+ minutes as the tty is
disabled for 5 minutes :
Feb 13 00:04:49 a2000 init: Id "2" respawning too fast: disabled for 5
minutes
Feb 13 00:04:49 a2000 init: Id "3" respawning too fast: disabled for 5
minutes
Feb 13 00:04:49 a2000 init: Id "4" respawning too fast: disabled for 5
minutes
Feb 13 00:04:50 a2000 init: Id "5" respawning too fast: disabled for 5
minutes
Feb 13 00:04:50 a2000 init: Id "6" respawning too fast: disabled for 5
minutes
The previous lot was at "Feb 12 23:58:08" I think the two messages are
from one problem : "getty" gets an abend becouse of /dev/console, as
init sees it ended so quickly it suspend the automatic relaunch to avoid
loops. So the only problem is /dev/console !
I try with different kernel, I didn't notice the problem with the older
one I was using before november 2003 (2.4.21), but the problem with
/dev/console is always here. Something is broken in my /dev/console !
Note : I didn't use devfs, I think I will try to understand what is it
in a near future.
