Subject: Re: [suse-sparc] Using serial console

    greets!

    I am in a similar situation running a SS20 (2 CPU, 512 MB)
    without keyboard and display as DHCP-Server in a remote room.
    Runs fine, but keeps complaining about missing tty-devices
    (tty1 - tty6) in the messages file every 5 minutes:

    mingetty[13596]: /dev/tty4: cannot open tty: No such device
    init: Id "4" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes

    How can I get rid of that?

    Look in /etc/rc.config for the SERIAL_CONSOLE entry and run SuSEconfig
    after changing this variable.

Linux is like a Vorlon.  It is incredibly powerful, gives terse,
cryptic answers and has a lot of things going on in the background.
