Rick,

As a start, find out what the process is that is causing it.

-- Some background --
init is the process which ?launches stuff? in Linux.
It keeps programs going that are services, (login via getty etc)
It has a config file called /etc/inittab which holds info on what to run and
when.

Run this command,
  grep SV /etc/inittab
(?man inittab? for more info on what this file does)

You will see a ?Service? called SV (id of SV) .. it may be a
line looking like

	SV:123456:respawn:/some/path/svscanboot


(if it?s svscanboot.. then on we go...)
NOTE: This may not be the same service (could be a coincidence that you SV
is the same as the svscanboot that is on this system below)

Using good old Google (helps a lot you know)
I found
a Post be a user (same erorr messages as you)
http://www.geocrawler.com/mail/msg.php3?msg_id=6264982&list=503
and a response:

See if that helps in resolving your problem.
