I am trying to install FC3 on Connectix Virtual PC (before
MS swallowed them up), but keep getting the respawning message half way through
the boot. I can CTRL ALT + fkey to a tty without a respawn message, get the
issue and am able to enter the login but never get a chance to enter a password
as it respawns. If I switch of the quiet option on the kernel can watch the
initrd running it’s commands apparently OK but fails after init kicks to
runlevel. I can access everything without difficulty using the
rescuecd even to getting X to run. I suspect that the file systems are still mounted read only
preventing init setting up its pipe and the mingetty’s launching. Is there any way I can follow the boot process in more
detail or run each stage by hand to track this down. I have installed FC3 on a PC normally and have no problems,
I installed FC1 and FC2 as a cross check FC1 ran OK, FC2 gave similar errors to
FC3 but prior to the respawn errors it appeared to show the rc script breaking. Any ideas on how to follow this up? Cheers, John Whyte |
