Debian Boot Problems
I've been running debian wheezy with the 2.6.32-5-686 kernel.
I don't recall making any system changes, but when I rebooted last night, the system never came back up. After the usual boot messages, I get this flood of messages: Code:
INIT: cannot execute "/sbin/getty" Code:
INIT: no more processes left in this runlevel The only access I have to the system is through the rescue mode of a live CD since I can't log in, so there's no information in the boot log, and no new information in any other logs (everything seems to be from before this issue started.) Anyone know anything I can try to fix this? Thanks! |
Here's an earlier LQ thread that seems to concern a similar issue:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...inutes-457370/ No promises, but it's worth a look. |
Frank, thanks for the reply! Sorry for my tardy response, I've been meaning to post something for a while now. I've looked through that thread and tried modifying my inittab to to follow the example (commenting out all profiles except for T0) and also in a number of different ways (running with Profiles 1-6 uncommented, and running with only profile 1 uncommented ), but nothing resolves the issue. However, it does uncover some additional errors. I now see the following:
Code:
lm-sensors: Permission denied One thing that seems strange: Using a rescue disc, I cannot start a shell in /dev/sda1 (it says no usable shells) but this is where I installed the OS. I can, however, mount a shell in /dev/sdb1 (which is just a file storage drive, no OS files reside there). Is this just a quirk caused by the way rescue mode reads the drives, or is it possible that my mount points and/or fs definitions have gotten confused and that's causing my errors? Any ideas? All help and advice is greatly appreciated! Thanks! |
