Re: INIT:ld"2" respawning too fast:disabled for 5 minutes

[Zeno R.R. Davatz]

Hi 

thanks for the input.

You mean I need to check the config in 'make menuconfig'?

Any idea where exactly I could look?

Also, how did you boot into the old kernel, getting your maschine back up again? I only manage to reinstall from zero...

Thanks for your time and help.
