Subject: 2.6.31: no login prompt

While booting 2.6.31, I don't get a login prompt after runlevel
3:

Sep 19 18:31:25 pervalidus init: Id "c1" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
Sep 19 18:31:25 pervalidus init: Id "c3" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
Sep 19 18:31:25 pervalidus init: Id "c2" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes

It works fine with 2.6.30.5.

What can be causing it ?

This should be fixed in 2.6.31.3, can you verify this?

Greg, this was caused by using vc/* entries in /etc/inittab and
old devfs rules in udev.

I don't think the fix would make any difference for it. Would it
?

Ah, if you found the problem, great, I was worried it was a tty layer
issue.
