On 9.0-CURRENT r216732 ia64 I get this message: % grep getty /var/log/messages | tail Dec 27 13:26:57 mech-cluster241 init: getty repeating too quickly on port /dev/ttyv8, sleeping 30 secs Dec 27 13:27:27 mech-cluster241 init: getty repeating too quickly on port /dev/ttyv8, sleeping 30 secs Dec 27 13:27:57 mech-cluster241 init: getty repeating too quickly on port /dev/ttyv8, sleeping 30 secs Dec 27 13:45:22 mech-cluster241 init: getty repeating too quickly on port /dev/ttyv8, sleeping 30 secs Dec 27 13:45:53 mech-cluster241 init: getty repeating too quickly on port /dev/ttyv8, sleeping 30 secs Dec 27 13:46:23 mech-cluster241 init: getty repeating too quickly on port /dev/ttyv8, sleeping 30 secs Dec 27 13:52:55 mech-cluster241 init: getty repeating too quickly on port /dev/ttyv8, sleeping 30 secs Dec 27 13:53:25 mech-cluster241 init: getty repeating too quickly on port /dev/ttyv8, sleeping 30 secs Dec 27 13:57:56 mech-cluster241 init: getty repeating too quickly on port /dev/ttyv8, sleeping 30 secs Dec 27 13:58:26 mech-cluster241 init: getty repeating too quickly on port /dev/ttyv8, sleeping 30 secs % % grep ttyv8 /etc/ttys ttyv8 "/usr/local/bin/xdm" xterm on secure % cat /var/log/xdm.log % And no other indication of anything going wrong. I've seen quite a few similar reports on the net, but no conclusive answer. What exactly does the above message mean? Should I be worried? many thanks anton -- Anton Shterenlikht Room 2.6, Queen's Building Mech Eng Dept Bristol University University Walk, Bristol BS8 1TR, UK Tel: +44 (0)117 331 5944 Fax: +44 (0)117 929 4423
