Description Joachim Backes 2011-06-16 05:55:55 UTC
Description of problem:
After having installed grub2 (my standard booter is grub) I saw "single" in kernel rescue lines, for example:

menuentry "GNU/Linux, with Linux 2.6.38.8-32.fc15.x86_64 (recovery mode)" --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os {
        set gfxpayload=keep
        insmod ext2
        set root='(hd0,7)'
        search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 4c27a317-74af-423d-bdfa-0d18cd07a651
        echo    Loading Linux 2.6.38.8-32.fc15.x86_64 ...
        linux   /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.38.8-32.fc15.x86_64 root=/dev/sda7 ro single
 quiet rhgb
}

I think, better would be "systemd.unit=rescue.target" instead of the old stylish "single" boot parameter.

This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database.  Reassigning to the new owner of this component.

systemd is backward compatible. Would it have any benefit to change to the new and more complex notation? How should pre-systemd systems be handled?

Comment 3 Mads Kiilerich 2012-04-30 22:21:54 UTC
closing - also because Fedora no longer let grub2 create rescue entries by default.
