If you boot with init=/sbin/init S, does it work? I'm guessing so. Unfortunately, I'm not really clear on how this is supposed to work when you're doing an initramfs -- passing all of the arguments to init is clearly wrong, yet there's no way to figure out which ones are valid to pass to init (as the kernel will make use of some of them). cc'ing some kernel guys to argue it out :) Passing init=/sbin/init S works with initramfs initrd.img. Since I compiled XFS into the kernel I am able to do without initrd.image. *** Bug 129099 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Fixed in 4.0.1 Confirmed that mkinitrd-4.1.12-1 allows me to boot using the word "single" as a boottime kernel parameter with kernel-2.6.8-1.541 Closing. -jef |
