tty3 respawning too fast.
After installing 3.4 to HD, rebooting and logging onto the desktop, I entered ctl-alt-F3 to login on to VC-3.
I do what ever it is I want to do, even something like entering ps ax to view processes. I logout, and get this error:
init:"3" Respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
This is with kernel 2.6.5. , whoever, I had the same problem with Knoppix 3.3.
I have tried removing /dev/tty3 and remaking it with makedev, but no joy, although I may not have done this correctly.
any Ideas?

What is 'VC3'?
The 3rd virtual console?
I modified my inittab (/etc/inittab) to get the normal 6 consoles:
Code:
# Console logins using agetty.
c1:12345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty1 linux
c2:12345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty2 linux
c3:12345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty3 linux
c4:12345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty4 linux
c5:12345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty5 linux
c6:12345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty6 linux
I'm not sure whether this will help, but deleting /dev/tty is definetively the wrong way.

Yes
I don't have this problem with my current Knoppix install - 3.2. I ran diff on the old and new /etc/inittab files and they are the same.
but deleting /dev/tty is definetively the wrong way
I have read in other forums where the tty files can become corrupted and this is how they fix the problem.
here's my /etc/inittab file
1:12345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty1
2:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty2
3:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty3
4:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty4
5:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty5
6:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty6
I'll try yours and see if this clears up the problem.
Thanx
BD
