BlankDear all
While booting RH 7.3 my system displays the following message
instead of usual login screen. It was working fine earlier and I have =
not=20
modified anything.
INIT: Id `x` respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes=20
I checked the FAQ for help. Some solution is suggested. But it is not
clear to me. Please tell what is wrong and how to solve
the problem. I am a newbie to Linux. I expect clear step by step =
instructions.
I have reproduced below part of my etc/inttab file.
Thanking you in advance
