Hi all, I have a question - I am getting the following error constantly in the console log: Feb 23 14:13:19 peloton init: getty repeating too quickly on port /dev/ttyv4, sleeping 30 secs I looked at init's man page and found the following: DIAGNOSTICS getty repeating too quickly on port %s, sleeping A process being started to service a line is exiting quickly each time it is started. This is often caused by a ringing or noisy terminal line. Init will sleep for 10 seconds, then continue trying to start the process. In /etc/ttys I have the following stuff for ttyv's: ttyv0 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 on secure # Virtual terminals ttyv1 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 on secure ttyv2 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 on secure ttyv3 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 off secure ttyv4 "/usr/X11R6/bin/xdm -nodaemon" xterm on secure Finally, I have the following from dmesg: sc0: VGA color <16 virtual consoles, flags=0x0> (I show this because previously someone suggested I may not have enough virtual consoles) Does anyone know how to correct this?
