OK now that I am at the office, I have double checked and yes, I have those
two lines commented out all ready.  Just to be safe I rebooted the system
again. 

I am still getting the messages as shown below:

    Jan 20 11:29:18 batman last message repeated 2 times
    Jan 20 11:29:29 batman ntpd[330]: kernel time sync disabled 0041
    Jan 20 11:29:52 batman init: getty repeating too quickly on port
/dev/console, sleeping
    Jan 20 11:30:26 batman init: getty repeating too quickly on port
/dev/console, sleeping
    ...
    ...
    ...



Any other ideas ? 

cheers,
