[rhn-users] RHEL 4.0 Update 1 INIT script error

[Michael Weber]

Have you seen an answer to this one?

I'd be curious to know if it was a strange character in the inittab
file or something like that.

Hope you're running!

Hello,

 

I have installed the default installation of Red Hat Enterprise Linux
4.0 (Update 1) over serial on a headless system.  I'm getting a weird
"error".  During the O/S startup, sometime before entering runlevel 1,
I
get a message the following message:  INIT:  Entering runlevel 8. 
INIT:
There are no more processes to run at this level.

 

Needless to say, there is no runlevel 8 defined in inittab nor is
there
an rc8.d directory so INIT just halts and I never get to the login
screen.  I've looked at inittab and all the scripts and I'm unable to
determine why this is happening.  I can boot into single user mode but
as soon as I move to runlevel 1, 2 or 3 then I get this error.

 

Any ideas?
