You didn't write what distribution you use. But if you're using RedHat, it's
most likely your mingetty binary, or related files, that have been damaged.
Try booting from your boot floppies and mount the harddisk. Then you can
copy a new mingetty binary into "sbin" on your harddisk (be sure you copy
it relatively to the mountpoint, so if you mount your harddisk on /mnt, you
copy it to /mnt/sbin).

1. tmpfs: a way to get your system down

Hi, all,

just hit by tmpfs on 2.4.2-ac20

mount -t tmpfs mnt
dd if=/dev/zero mnt/tmpfile

resulted in hardly slowed system and lockup,
and not in "No space left on device", as expected.
