sparc auto-login failure
	2007-06-18 10:47:05
I've used catalyst in the past to build ISOs for both the x86 and PPC platforms.  I'm now turning my attention to SPARC, and I'm running into an issue that wasn't ever a problem for me on x86 or PPC. I can't seem to get my SPARC CD to automatically log in as root upon boot up.  With x86 and PPC, I didn't have to do anything special at all; it just happened.  With SPARC, however, auto-login tries and tries repeatedly (thanks, I'm guessing to a "respawn" flag in /etc/inittab) without success. My first question is why would this behavior be any different on SPARC than it is on x86/PPC? My second question is what can I do to fix it? I';ve added lines to my fsscript.sh file that do appear to be getting applied to the file system, but they aren't solving the problem.  The changes I'm making using my fsscript.sh are as follows: * In /etc/inittab, replace c1:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty1 linux with c1:12345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty --autologin root --noclear tty1 * Change /sbin/rc so that rather than ebegin "Updating inittab" livecd_fix_inittab eend $? /sbin/telinit q &>/dev/null it contains ebegin "Updating inittab" /bin/true eend $? /bin/true Am I totally on the wrong track? Thanks, Stephen
