Hi,

 
I've recently configure a netbooting system on my network. I installed sarge with minimal packages with no "special" configuration and chose the netbooting kernel. The system loads the kernel and the initrd image fine, it then goes on to succesfully boot the kernel and get all the way to starting my daemons through inetd.
 
After Cron is succesfully started, it attempts to bring up the login prompt. After a short while i get an error from each runlevel:
 
INIT: id "1" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
INIT: id "2" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
INIT: id "3" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
INIT: id "4" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
INIT: id "5" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
INIT: id "6" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
no more processes left in this runlevel
 
Then it just carries on doing this. I've googled around. some people have mentioned that my /dev may not be working correctly. I also came accross a site saying i should try changing the permissions of all my /dev/tty* files. I'm still at a loss as to the cause of this problem.
 
Cheers,
 
Tom
