When I've seen this in the past, it's usually associated with a serial terminal that's recently been removed from the system (or maybe it's broken and no longer communicating).<br><br>Does the message mention "getty" at all? If so, then you've got this problem. There should also be a "tty" number mentioned in the error message.<br><br>Login (or switch to) "root" and edit <FONT FACE=monospace>/etc/inittab</font> with your favourite text editor and locate the line that contains the tty number from the error message. Then change the "respawn" on that line to be "off". Alternatively, comment out the whole line by placing a "#" at the beginning of the line.<br><br>Save the changes and go back to the command line. Still as root, type one of the following: "/etc/telinit q", "telinit q", or "init q". This will force init to re-read /etc/inittab. It will then disable the tty causing the problem and you'll stop getting the error messages.<br><br>Hope this helps.
