Description Scott Mcdermott 2010-01-31 18:48:31 UTC 
/sbin/sulogin depends on libfreebl3, which is installed in /usr; if /usr does not come up on boot, rc.sysinit tries to dump to repair shell and just reboots since sulogin cannot run.  Only fix is init=/bin/sh or similar, at that point.  (What's worse, there's no chance to even see the error since the system reboots so quickly once sulogin fails.)

No other runtime dependency on /usr exists for sulogin.

F11 sulogin does not have this dependency (unconfirmed).
Comment 1 Petr Lautrbach 2010-02-01 08:57:43 UTC 
/usr/lib{,64}/libfreebl3.so  should be in /lib{,64}
