I've run a chroot of stable, starting with sarge, currently etch, for several years. The relevant line in /etc/inittab has been "8:23:respawn:/usr/sbin/chroot /sarge /sbin/getty 38400 tty8" and it worked. Until the past month or so, when the chroot has consistently failed, with the following messages: /usr/sbin/chroot: cannot run command '/sbin/getty': No such file or directory (repeated a number of times) INIT: Id '8' respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes The problem -- perhaps -- appeared after powering down without logging out of the chroot, and consequently having had to fsck that partition. It is not helped by downgrading coreutils and/or util-linux. Googling the error messages has not turned up anything useful. Clues gratefully accepted. -- JohnRChamplin@columbus.rr.com ==================================================== GPG key 1024D/99421A63 2005-01-05 EE51 79E9 F244 D734 A012 1CEC 7813 9FE9 9942 1A63 gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys 99421A63
