Hi. My lish has been flooded with the following error for several weeks now and as such I have no login prompt.

Code: INIT: Id "c0" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
INIT: no more processes left in this runlevel

I've tried the traditional remedy recommended in this forum of modifying /etc/inittab and then doing init q but no luck. Here's what my /etc/inittab looks like.

Code: # Default runlevel.
id:3:initdefault:

# System initialization, mount local filesystems, etc.
si::sysinit:/sbin/rc sysinit

# Further system initialization, brings up the boot runlevel.
rc::bootwait:/sbin/rc boot

l0:0:wait:/sbin/rc shutdown
l1:S1:wait:/sbin/rc single
l2:2:wait:/sbin/rc nonetwork
l3:3:wait:/sbin/rc default
l4:4:wait:/sbin/rc default
l5:5:wait:/sbin/rc default
l6:6:wait:/sbin/rc reboot
#z6:6:respawn:/sbin/sulogin

# Used by /etc/init.d/xdm to control DM startup.

I can't redeploy the image as I have data on it and it is the only image taking up all the space. I'd be most grateful for any tips that I can try. I'm running Gentoo on host10. Many thanks.

Code:

c0:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 vc/0 linux


Due to devfs being removed from the kernel configs, change vc/0 to tty0.

That did the trick. Thank you so much!
