OUTPUT=ISO
BACKUP=NSR
GRUB_RESCUE=y
Backing up RHEL VMGuest using EMC NSR (lgtoclnt-8.2.1-1.x86_64)
Successful can backup and restore over NFS but unfortunately that will
not be possible for production systems)
So I am backing up with EMC Networker and using rear to get a DR image
Create ISO image
boot off ISO image
perform rear recover
reboot
boot fails with the following:
init:tty(/dev/tty6) main process (1068) terminated with status 127
init:tty(/dev/tty6) main process ended, respawning
.....until I get
init:tty (/dev/tty6) respawning too fast, stopped
and it doesn't boot
Open to suggestions - thanks

Hi,
Looks like /dev/tty6 is missing or corrupted.
My best shot would be to boot system from RH rescue disk (or ReaR iso),
mount / (root) and comment out tty6 in /etc/inittab.
Something like:
1:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty --noclear tty1
2:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty2
3:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty3
4:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty4
5:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty5
#6:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty6
and try to boot again ...

Did selinux relabeling kick in? Might be that what is causing this...

Booted using the ISO mounted the root partition
cd /etc/sysconfig
editted selinux and changed SELINUX from enforcing to permissive
umounted root partition
reboot was successful
So as a test I set SELINUX back to enforcing and rebooted - same errors
so I reset to permissive
Thanks for quick responses
