When I try and boot into my SuSE 7.0 the bootup stops at:
INIT: cannot execute "/sbin/mingetty" INIT: ID "1" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
And then it repeats INIT: ID with "2", 3, 4, 5, and 6, and then it stops. Ctrl + Alt + Delete doesn't work and I have to restart manually.
Try booting up into single user mode (type 'linux S' at the LILO prompt, assuming your kernel is called linux) and manually run '/sbin/mingetty tty8' and see if you get any error messages either on your current console, or on console 8 (press Alt-F8). This is usually a problem with mingetty not running properly - maybe you need to check its permission - see what the error message says.
I do have Debian on the same box and I can get into SuSE from there. Any Ideas?
