How to add new inittab

Mabdriva 10.2

No Inittab file.

Run level 5 init no more processes left in this run level

Have read and tried some of Linuxquestions .org search files but still unable to boot up Mandriva
10.2

Hi,

I would call this double posting
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...hreadid=373792

You do not need to, just be patient

I had subscribed to your thread and was going to try to post you
my initab from mandy 2005 LE

By the way, what did you do to break your inittab? Or did 2005 never worked?
I assume it worked fine before...

you may even have a backup /etc/inittab~ wherever it is

Is this correct to assume you have a dual boot and have mandrake 10
available (if somebody has suggestion on how to fix this using 10
to access and edit /mnt/mandy2005/etc/inittab

You must have mounted /mnt/mandy2005 as read only
See your /etc/fstab in mandy 10

Here is my inittab in 2005 LE

Code:

# Default runlevel. The runlevels used by Mandrakelinux are:
#   0 - halt (Do NOT set initdefault to this)
#   1 - Single user mode
#   2 - Multiuser, without NFS (The same as 3, if you do not have networking)
#   3 - Full multiuser mode
#   4 - unused
#   5 - X11
#   6 - reboot (Do NOT set initdefault to this)
