INIT: Command is respawning too rapidly...

[Paul Moore]

Can someone help me with this problem when I boot up my ISC-based system. I get
the following series of messages displayed on the terminal:

    INIT: Command is respawning too rapidly. Check for possible errors

    id: co "/etc/getty console console"

    INIT: Command is respawning too rapidly. Check for possible errors

    id: v1 "/etc/getty /dev/vt01 vt01"

    INIT: Command is respawning too rapidly. Check for possible errors

    id: v2 "/etc/getty /dev/vt02 vt02"

Naturally, the system then hangs up.

Thanks in advance,

- Paul
