I have a new Intel Celeron laptop, and want to run FreeBSD on it. I chose the standard installation for user + Xwindows. After teh insytallation I configured Xorg, by section 5 of the documantation. The test worked, and I made no changes to the config files. $ uname -a FreeBSD severino.home 6.2-RELEASE FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE #0: Fri Jan 12 11:05:30 UTC 2007 root@dessler.cse.buffalo.edu: /usr/obj/usr/src/sys/SMP i385 The error message comes when I boot the machine, as the login prompt appears. the Xorg has not started, I have a console login prompt. Error Message: Jun 10 12:09:33 severino init: getty repeating too quickly on port /dev/ttyv8, sleeping 30 secs. This message repeats about once every 30 seconds. Please tell me how to fix this, or where to get the infomation on how to fix this. Thank you for your time and attention H Severino ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better Globetrotter.
