Very Computer

I can access the machine in question using telnet.

When it boots up, after the booting process ends it
starts giving the following message about 10 times
over:

set_termio: get_ttymode failed, errno = 22
set final termio failed

followed once by:

INIT:  Command spawning too rapidly.  Check for possible errors.
id: co "/usr/lib/saf/ttymon -g -h -p "'uname -n' console login: "
-T sun -d /dev/console -l console -m ldterm,ttcompat

After a while, a day or so, it starts allowing physical logins
until I have to reboot it for something.

Anybody have any idea what's required to fix it?

Thanks!

Here is what I was able to get off the net.

RDB ID: 12593

SYNOPSIS: Never get login prompt on dumb terminal console

DETAIL DESCRIPTION:

Upon rebooting a system that has a dumb terminal as
console, the login prompt is never given.  The following
message displayed on console :

init command respawning too rapidly

set_termio: get_ttymode failed,  errno=9
set final termio failed
  :

This message repeats for about 10 to 12 times and then
the "init command .." error is displayed again.

SOLUTION SUMMARY:

In this particular case, the /etc/ioctl.syscon file was
corrupted.  Once this file was fixed, the system booted
up fine and login was displayed on the console.

A copy of this file can be obtained from the Solaris cd
that was used to install the system.  From the following
directory on the Solaris cd :

Solaris_2.x/SUNWcsr/reloc/etc

PRODUCT AREA: System Administration
PRODUCT: Device config
SUNOS RELEASE: Solaris 2.x
HARDWARE: any

I also found some evidence of another document out on the web in
the Sun manager's list archive, but the archive moved, and when
I tried to search the new official archive, the articles produced
by searching seemed to have NO relevance to ANY word I typed in
as a key word.  I even read the help.  :(

A search of dejanews produced only your post, and one from France.
I don't read much French, but if it's any consolation it sounds
like there is somebody in France that is having the EXACT same
problem you have.
