INIT: Id "c0" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes

try to do a new arch "2007.08 dont't panic" installation on my toshiba notebook.

but get always the errror: INIT: Id "c0" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes

thanks

the output of /etc/initiab looks about like this, have a foto of the /etc/inittab output, if anyone need it.

#/etc/inittab
# Runlevels:
....
....
....
....

id:2: initdefault
rc::sysinit:/etc/rc.sysinit
rh:06:wait:/etc/rc.shutdown

c0:2:respawn:/sbin/agetty -n -l /etc/login.sh 9600 ttyS0 linux
c1:2:respawn:/sbin/agetty -n -l /etc/login.sh 38400 vc/1 linux
c2:2:respawn:/sbin/agetty -n -l /etc/login.sh 38400 vc/2 linux

Yes  I also get this during installation, but it doesnt seem to be causing any real problems. I heard from someone that it had something to do with the serial port being disabled or something.

started the linuxday archlinux version and checked the /etc/inittab

thiline is not there: c0:2:respawn:/sbin/agetty -n -l /etc/login.sh 9600 ttyS0 linux

I removed it, and then installation works like a flaw.

it's not an issue, it s for serial console users, i'll try to disable this for next 2007.09 ISOs.
