I didn't do anything out of the ordinary only tried to reboot the unit by removing the battery because the unit froze-up (for the millionth time-- I've complained about this before). Anyway, now during the boot-up sequence it seems to freeze at:
Starting switchevd: [ OK ]However, it's not really frozen because I eventually get an error message:
INIT: Id "ln" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutesThen it occurs again in 5 minutes and so on.
Previous to the switchevd message I get another error message:
Starting sshd:PRNG is not seeded [FAILED]Does this have to do with the problem?
I'd just re-flash the ROM (v197); however, I don't want to lose any data. Is there a way I can at least back-up the data before I have to re-flash?
Thanks.

ok... sucks that this is my 1000th post... but here goes...
if you want to get all that data before reflashing...
Boot into the emergancy rom...
make sure the device you want to copy ur data to is mounted (if not mount it)
# mkdir /mnt/pdaxrom
# mount -t jffs2 /dev/mtdblock2 /mnt/pdaxrom
# cd /mnt/pdaxrom
there is all your data.... I'm going to need to know more what what changes have been made prior to the issue you ran into to diagnose it more...

INIT: Id "ln" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutesThis is one of the 2 lines in inittab that start the text console on tty1 (the first virtual console .... well pdaxrom only has one so the only virtual console).
Adrian ... there is not much point in having 2 separate lines for getty on tty1, one exclusively for runlevel 2 ans the other for runlevels 3, 4 and 5.
They could become just one line :
ln:2345:resprawn:/sbin/getty 9600 tty1
Donquixote .... I'm not sure exactly what's wrong but to me it smells like something is wrong in the inittab that is making getty die and resprawn so fast that init is disabling it dor 5 minutes (that\s a classic).
Can you send inittab for a start ?

Don't really know how to solve the problem, but I remember getting the same error when I was playing with gdm/xdm to set up a graphical login screen.
Have you been doing something like that ?

Possibly that could be a cause .... but since init is complaining let's start debugging by looking at the initttab.
Donquixote: boot to the emerg image ... mount the root on nand like InSearchOh told you ... grab the /mnt/pdaxrom/etc/inittab file and show us it's content ...
also if they are not empty also grab /mnt/pdaxrom/var/log/dmesg and /mnt/pdaxrom/var/log/messages. These last too, if not empty, may be too big to cut and paste here so attach them instead.

I didn't do anything unusual with the unit. The last thing I tried to do was upgrade from sp5 to sp8. Which didn't seem to successful I might add. However, that was over a month ago. I haven't done anything configuration-wise since. I'll post inittab, dmesg etc. shortly.

Hum ... inittab look ok ...
logs look ok too but the dmesg was obviously saved by the init scripts before the error you are hitting.
But something is killing the getty on tty1 and thus making it resprawn too fast ... init is disabling it at 5 minutes intervals. Let's check whether getty itself is fine ...
While still in the emerg system (with root mounted like InSearchOf told you) can you do thise things (and paste here the output):
ls -l /mnt/pdaxrom/sbin/getty
/mnt/pdaxrom/bin/busybox | grep getty
/mnt/pdaxrom/bin/busybox getty 9600 tty2 (and then exit by pressing CTRL^C)
BTW: before you kill the extra getty on tty2, and if everything so far is fine, you should be able to see the login prompt on tty2 by hitting Fn+RIGHT_ARROR ... go back to the original tty1 by pressing Fn+LEFT_ARROR
-
ls -l /mnt/pdaxrom/sbin/getty
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 Jan 1 00:00 /mnt/pdaxrom/sbin/getty -> ../bin/busybox
/mnt/pdaxrom/bin/busybox | grep getty
getty, grep, head, hwclock, kill, klogd, ln, logger, login, losetup,
Ok, the last one I was able to make a new tty2 login prompt. The only problem was that I couldn't ctrl-c out of it. I'm not even sure what the button for ctrl is in emerg. Is it the kanji key (the one next to Fn)? If so, it doesn't work. None of the other buttons work either-- they just display garbage: '^[[20~' etc.
I tried to killall busybox too, but that didn't work either.

Well next time you try you could first load the keymap from jffs2 root before going ahead.
Ok getty itself looks fine ... getty would then invoke login to give you a login prompt on the console .... check that out on the jffs2 root.
If that's ok too the something else in the init scritps is killing getty ... have a look at the rc script and at what's started in rc5.d.
-
Maybe there's something else that's shown during the start-up that's causing problems. Here's some of the other messages during the start-up:

It shouldn't really have changed-- I don't mess around with config files in pdaxrom.
Oh yeah, I didn't mention that I have a c760, but that should be kinda obvious from the log files I gave you.
Thanks.

I'm now in vacation ... and the only thing I have to connect to internet is my C1K ... so browsing with dillo is a pain in the arse compared to firefox on a std laptop :-(
From what I could see there are errors on your jffs2 filesystem ... unfortunately there is no jffs2fsck tool ... so al you can do is save what is savablle (likeInSearchOf told you) ...
I've not even attempted to read the rs script because of the small screen ... sorry about this but baybe someone else can do that. If you cannot get help on this I'll try to save it locally and do a diff with mine.

No problem, I do want to re-flash sometime soon though. Having this out of service for too long is killing me.
