INIT problem while booting


Hi. Unfortunately, I had to delete my Amigo ( successfuly and easy installed previously ) to aquire some free disc space for other purposes. Now I am trying to load Linux having it extracted and experiencing problems while loading by executing linux.bat. system cannot execute /etc/rc.d/rc.S , etc/rc.d/rc.M and sbin/agetty as well saying Id 'c1',c2'....'c6' are spawnning too fast and as a result stops for 5 minutes than comes back to execute procedure with the same failure. What may be the reason of this bad perfomance. THX, rgds.

Faulty unzip. Make sure and unzip directly where you will run it. use winzip or alzip, not winrar.

Thank you for your reply. Well, I fixed this problem. Here's an advice for all using WinRar and WinZip 32-bit extractors to unzip Amigo2.0.zip : use mouse right- button option :'extract files' instead of 'extract here' and accept path that extractor defaults : your_drive:\dir_where_Amigo2.0.zip_resides\Amigo2.0 then copy content of Amigo2.0 directory to your_drive:\

If you unzip Amigo2.0 zip directly to your_drive:\ using 'extract here' you won't be able to load Amigo.

It's not sophisticated workaround but works perfectly. Rgds.

Hmmm..., this spawning error resulting from a faulty unzip seems strangely familiar!

Has anyone reviewed the LQ Amigo Forum thread started by MistaED on October 30th, 2004 entitled "Problem with Amigo INIT"??
Mine was the last post on this "Problem..." thread, on November 23rd, 2004, and this should corroborate what gnashley wrote above .

I suppose I should just repackage Amigo-s.o as a self-extractor and avoid thos problems -I uploaded as .zip files so that Linux users could also enjoy Amigo
