The message reads: init: getty repeating too quickly on port /dev/ttyv3 sleeping 30 seconds and then messages like "last message repeated 4 times" or "...20 times" and it sounds like the hard drive is accessed every 30 seconds (all day long). Anybody have any idea what might be up? The hardware is: A pentium machine w/ 48M extended ram, A 1G conner SCSI hard drive (with a windows/dos partition), A Plextor PX43CS SCSI cdrom drive using the Adaptec AHA 2940 SCSI controller. The machine also has a SoundBlaster 16 sound card and an Intel EtherExpress 16 if that matters. Thanks for any help in advance. -- - Mike ======================================================================== | | | _ | Michael D.
