Hi folks,
I'm running Suse linux 7.2 with a 2.4.18 kernel, devfs
1.10 and devfsd 1.3.24. Devfs is running ok(ish) in
compatibility mode (ie. the old device names shown as
well as the new ones) but I'm trying to migrate to the
new names so I can turn compatibility off.
I've hit a problem when trying to change inittab from:
2:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty2
to:
2:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty vc/2
When I do this and restart, I get the following
message at the login prompt:
init: Id "2" respawning too fast: disabled for 5
minutes
When I log in and check /var/log/messages I
see:
mingetty[500]: /dev/2: No such file or directory
This makes me scratch my head since I have said vc/2
in inittab, not 2. Can anyone suggest what I might be
doing wrong?
ps. I've read the FAQ, done about 500 google
searches, looked through the mailing list archives and
asked on #linux on IRC. Any help at this point is
*much* appreciated. I'm fairly new to linux, and
whilst getting this to work is a good learning
exercise I'm starting to hit a brick wall.
