Openrc no longer supports the softlevel= option on the kernel command |
| 33 |
line (this hit me as well, as I use a number of different runlevels). |
| 34 |
Instead, pass "S" to skip just about everything, and start a root shell |
| 35 |
(via sulogin), or "1" to do the equivalent of "/sbin/rc single" (that |
| 36 |
is, drop the softlevel=boot completely, and add the single character "S" |
| 37 |
or "1" after a space). |
| 38 |

An example from my grub.conf: |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
title Gentoo, current kernel (single user) |
| 42 |
kernel (hd0,0)/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda5 1 |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
title Gentoo, current kernel (root shell) |
| 45 |
kernel (hd0,0)/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda5 S |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
I also have my /etc/inittab set up so that init's runlevels 2-5 go into |
| 48 |
rc's various runlevels (on my machine, 2=default, 3=gui, 4=network, |
| 49 |
5=gui-network). |
