upgrading from RH7.1 to 7.2 gets "respawning too fast"

After upgrading my Redhat7.1 to 7.2, I get the following message looping on reboot: ... INIT: entering level 3 INIT: Id "1" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes INIT: Id "2" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes INIT: Id "3" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes INIT: Id "4" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes INIT: Id "5" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes INIT: Id "6" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes INIT: no more processes left in this runlevel ... and so on every 5 minutes... Hopefully, I can boot on an alternate untouched "/dev/sdb1" so I still have access to files on the upgraded filesystems (/dev/sda1 and others). My previous kernel (2.4.17) leaves intouched by this upgrade, and is the one booting. I wonder if there were something wrong with mingetty (mingetty is tried to be respawn from init) ?? note: entering level 3 is correct; so it's not a problem of starting X. Thank's for any help. -- B.

The problem was that the installation procedure created an /etc/inittab itself, in order to do some first setup thinks like root passwd etc. The *real* /etc/inittab was located in /etc/inittab/another_backup_file. I simply moved /etc/inittab/another_backup_file to /etc/inittab and problem was solved. Greetzzz, mc303 -- Ing.

Hey, I had this problem on a number of different occasions, and it turned out to be the permissions on /tmp. So, I rebooted, started runlevel 1, cleared out /tmp (cd /tmp; rm -r *; ) then cd'd to /, and did a chmod 1777 /tmp. All was well after this. (if i remember right it was linuxconf that changed the rights on there, so I have not used it since, and have not had the problem since.) running RH72. Hope this helps! - the rights on /tmp should read: drwxrwxrwt 13 root root 8192 Jul 15 19:15 tmp S. - "B.
