asterisk users - Jun 2005 - error message: INIT: Id "s0" respawning toofast:disable for 5 minutes

Guys (and Gals),

FYI I also have the *same* message here. Wonder is it is related to my
Compaq D500 Space Saver PIV 1.7 or the fact that I don't yet have a
modem card in the * box.

(Please don't shoot me, did try Google first)

Many thanks,

Wagner Gimenes

I don't think that's asterisk related at all. Check /etc/inittab to see
what 's0' is. My guess is it's a serial port that you have connected
to
something proprietary.

If that is the case, just comment out the s0 line and 'telinit q' should
stop the messages.

I had this same issue - it's because AAH tries to run a getty on ttyS0,
and if you have COM1 disabled in the bios (or it doesn't exist), this
won't work.  If you're getting this issue, edit /etc/inittab, and
comment out the line that says:

s0:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty -i -h -L 9600 ttyS0 vt100

Then save the file, and do a 'killall -HUP init' as root - the problem
should go away.
