That system had KDE and KDM as window manager. Now, after rebooting I get two messages on the console init: getty repeating too quickly on port /dev/ttyv8, sleeping 30 secs. I can login at the console in text mode (Ctrl-Alt-F1, F2, ... F8), Ctrl-Alt-F9 does not do anything but giving that getty repeating ... error My /etc/ttys has: ttyv8 "/usr/local/bin/kdm -nodeamon" xterm on secure Of course I can comment it out, then the errors don't pop up, but that not what I want How can I solve this?
