swaret a little gnome!!!! cannot exec... /sbin/agetty....
 

hey. hello everybody!!!!

I was updating my box with swaret. everything was cool (even I was surfing a little around), until the PC reboot by itself. very weird.

when it went on the system shows me this log:

INIT: cannot execute "/sbin/agetty"
INIT: cannot execute "/sbin/agetty"
INIT: cannot execute "/sbin/agetty"
INIT: cannot execute "/sbin/agetty"
INIT: cannot execute "/sbin/agetty"
INIT: cannot execute "/sbin/agetty"
INIT: cannot execute "/sbin/agetty"
INIT: Id "cd1" respawning too fast :disable for 5 minutes.


and on, and on......


what could be the problem?. because in this one I don't have any clue!!!!

they say swaret sucks for updating slack. its better to download current ftp tree make you iso images from it. there's a readme in the isolinux directory that tells you how to make the iso images. a dvd image would be better every thing would fit on a dvd.

I would think of a glibc problem for the cannot execute "/sbin/agetty" as I had
similar experience with a failed glibc upgrade, but I am not sure

The fact that your computer did reboot by itself is weird...

For my part, what I would do is boot from a slackware live CD, mount the hard drive
root partition, copy the libc.so from the cd /lib (the libc.so file, not the symlink) in the
/lib of the mounted root partition (maybe make a backup of the libc.so before) and
redo a symlink if neccessary.

thanks you for the reply. I'll be trying to do it.!!! gentleman, please wish me luck!!!

did this solution work?

thats a good article man, ill bookmark that - it might come in handy while im working on my system
