Hi List
I succeded twice in making a kernel_image with the Debian kernel-package and installaing the .deb file (2.4.18, 2.4.20).
My Installation where I boot from is bf24-2.4.20 (floppies).
I download the kernel sources to /usr/src/linux-2.4.21 I do make clean, make menuconfig and then make-kpkg -rev ywesee.1 kernel_image.
The maschine ends the compilation just fine and I do dpkg -i kernel_image-2.4.21-ywesee.1-i386.deb.
Then I reboot, everythings starts fine _without a kernel panic.
But: After starting the cron daemon I get:
INIT:ld"2" respawning too fast:disabled for 5 minutes
I get this several times...
Why do I get this message and how can I get rid of it so my 2.4.21 boots nicely.
(I need to start my installation again from the beginning as I can not boot into the old system).
Many thanks in advance for any help and hints.

Hi,
What this message means is that :
"if you make a mistake that prevents a particular program from starting,
and the action is respawned, init might get caught in a loop. That is,
init tries to start the program, cannot, for whatever reason and then
tries to start it again. If init finds that it is starting the program
more than 10 times within 2 minutes, it will treat this as an error and
stops trying. Typically you will get messages in the system log that the
process is "respawning too rapidly"." Please read :
http://www.linux-tutorial.info/cgi-bin/display.pl?65&0&64&0&3
I also faced a similar problem - it gave me INIT:ID"1" respawning too
fast" , when I tried to login to my machine. This got resolved when I
reconfigured the kernel. But yet to figure out the "exact" change which
causes my problem.
Regards,
Girish

Hi
thanks for the input.
You mean I need to check the config in 'make menuconfig'?
Any idea where exactly I could look?
Also, how did you boot into the old kernel, getting your maschine back up again? I only manage to reinstall from zero...
Thanks for your time and help.

Okay, I will try that.
NB: I get the same error with the Debian Kernel-Source-2.4.20...
Can you send me your .config file?
I attached mine.
Thanks

Hello Zeno,
> NB: I get the same error with the Debian Kernel-Source-2.4.20...
Are you using devfs? If so and you don't have the devfsd running, then
there won't be any /dev/ttyX devices and the init process will try to
spawn new consoles unless it gives up with the error message you described.
Make sure to disable devfs support in the kernel in that case. Then
you'll have the proper /dev/ttyX entries and init can spawn the
processes without problems.
CU
Michael.
I am using 2.4.21 kernel. Sending it separately to you.
Regards,
Girish
