Description of problem: When trying to boot to runlevel "1" (by adding 1 as kernel parameter or by running "init 1"), system is in state, where I can't do anything. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): [root@builder ~]# rpm -q upstart kernel upstart-0.3.9-19.fc10.x86_64 kernel-2.6.27.12-170.2.5.fc10.x86_64 [root@builder ~]# uname -a Linux builder.salstar.sk 2.6.27.12-170.2.5.fc10.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Jan 21 01:33:24 EST 2009 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. init 1 Actual results: init: rc1 post-stop process (2321) terminated with status 1 Expected results: running shell without other services started Additional info: After "rc1" message cursor is blinking, but I can't type commands. I only can restart my machine by xen command "xm reboot builder". "init S" or adding "S" into kernel parameters works fine.
Not sure why this would be xen-specific at all. If you change the last bit of /etc/event.d/rc1 to 'exec strace telinit S', does it show any obvious failure point?

Tryed to change this and run "init 1" and also start kernel with parameter "1". Exactly same output as before (I have strace installed on my system).
What happens if you change it to 'clear || :'?
(In reply to comment #3) > What happens if you change it to 'clear || :'? post-stop script clear TEXTDOMAIN=initscripts . /etc/profile.d/lang.sh echo $"Telling INIT to go to single user mode." #exec telinit S exec clear || : end script File /etc/event.d/rc1 saved Nothing changed.
Oops, I think I remember now what this is. Does the patch in http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=initscripts.git;a=commitdiff;h=0320082b72105bb90863d43b3051623381cde73a work for you? If so, we'll get this cherry-picked to the F10 branch for a future update.
