After exiting I get this message and cannot reuse the tty INIT: Id "1" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes This is now occurring for 1, 3 and 4. 2 is where I started X from.

You borked one or more init scripts

Boot from the rescue system and repair whatever is wrong.

That's (only) needed for CD/DVD writers afaik. Theo -- Theo v.

I thought that's what I did when I removed the boot.scsidev from the boot sequence. Because the initial symptom was a boot failure saying that root was already mounted. This is a SuSE9.0 system with regular that has apt-get run regularly. Is there a way to get a listing of applied updates from apt? My other thought is to nfs mount a clean SuSE install and try diff on /etc/init.d . -- Collector of vintage computers http://www.ncf.ca/~ba600 Machines to trade http://www.ncf.ca/~ba600/trade.html

Repairing a hosed init is a nightmare, there are just so many scripts it's the 'Turkisch knot' of dependencies.

No idea. I've had too many cockups with apt when it first appeared for SuSe. Never again.

Did you try the repair mode in YaST (boot from DVD, choose the repair sytem option etc)? Theo -- Theo v.
