RE: strange log messages/behavior
Hello,
As i read your message i realized you're stuck with the same problem as i
do for some time on hamm, without finding a solution. That's why I launched
a similar cry for help a few days ago, without any luck until now....
Here's a copy of my original message:
Hi,
While I installed Linux some time ago with a lot of 'trial and error', I
got things working finally, Including xdm and kdm, on an old Deskpro386, 20
Mhz, 12 Mb memory with SVGA card, .
Two curious things keep me bothering from the beginning, however:
* Sometimes, even during or just after starting the machine, at one of the
virtual terminals, there is a message saying "INIT respawning to fast,
disabled for 5 minutes". Logging in on that vt is then impossible, trying
on another vt gives me the same strange message. Only one solution: power
off, restarting 'dirty' and hoping for better lucks this a
hardware-dependent problem or a configuration error ?
* Sometimes, after playing around for a while on the machine, if some
command gives me an error, subsequent commands (whatever it is) produce
only one output: 'Segmentation fault'. From that moment, there is only one
solution: restarting the machine, the 'dirty way'.
I hope some Linux-guru can give a little advice to solve these
'destabilizing' phenomena.
TIA

Has anyone ever seen these messages before? Does anyone know what they
mean?

My server stoped responding to telnet and ftp (it would immediately close
the connection). SAMBA and NFS still seemed to work however. So I got
access to the console, and tried to log in, it gave me the above messages
on the screen (and I found these in /var/log/syslog). Anyway, I did not see
any recourse other than to hit reset, because Ctrl-Alt-Del did not respond
either.
How should I have dealt with this problem? Any ideas how it occured?
Chris
