Re: [debian-knoppix] INIT-respawn-error
Hi Cristof
I had the same problem.
I fixed it eventually by finding out that the devices for the virtual
terminals were broken.
cd'ing to /dev
and running ./MAKEDEV console
fixed the problem.
I posted this to the msg board at knoppix.net i think a few days ago.
HTH,
dave
