9 That's "sulogin". Did you mess up your /etc/inittab (like uncommenting
10 that line referring to sulogin)?

12 But I rather guess its an unclean umount and sulogin is spawned
13 from /etc/init.d/halt.sh (l.189). Maybe you can cat your /proc/mounts
14 next time you're in that single-user mode? It might make things more
