Description of problem: /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit treats fsck on root filesystem exiting with code 2 as error and stops automatic system startup with sulogin. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 7.53-1 and probably earlier versions How reproducible: While system is booting when root filesystem needs fsck and then reboot is required for the kernel to update in-memory filesystem data. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Not trivial: umount / 2. Damage root fs data in a way which will cause fsck to return code 2 3. reboot system Actual results: /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit prints: *** An error occurred during the file system check. *** Dropping you to a shell; the system will reboot *** when you leave the shell. and runs sulogin. Expected results: System is rebooted automatically, probably after a short pause allowing watching admin to react somehow. After reboot root filesystem would be clean and fsck would not be run on it.
