[GRUB] Choose runlevel

Cornholio · 03-22-2005, 07:39 AM

Hi there!

Can someone please tell me, if there is any argument I could add to /etc/lilo.conf so that I can boot into different runlevels ?

like:

image=/...
label="Slack RL3"
append="hdc=ide-scsi runlevel=3"

image=/...
label="Slack RL4"
appaend="hdc=ide-scsi runlevel=4"

Got my point? :-)

Thanks a lot, Sascha

Yup, there is. I think it's "init=" but I can't swear to it. . .

Ok, I'll give it a try and will report :-)

Thanks

Ok... I tried and failed...

This is a part of my lilo.conf:
append="splash=silent hdc=ide-scsi init=3"

But starts RL4 anyway!

Any suggestions? :-)

Hang on. . . you've got Grub in the title, but you're using Lilo. . ?

Lilo, IIRC, you just have to add the runlevel number you want after the image name, eg: linux 3

Oh, damn!!! I am soooo sorry. Hell, I didn't see I wrote GRUB .. don't know why I did ... *slap myself*

Yeah, using lilo ... sorry sooo much!

I'll try what you say!

Thanks

Well, wether I am tooo stupid or it doesn't work:

Here is the a part from my lilo.conf:

# Linux bootable partition config begins
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.28 3 # Runlevel 3
initrd="/boot/initrd"
append="splash=silent hdc=ide-scsi"
root = /dev/hdb2
label = Slack-RL3
vga="794"
read-only
# Linux bootable partition config ends

If I try to run /sbin/lilo I get:
Unrecognized token "3" at or above line 69 in file '/etc/lilo.conf'

Tell me... stupid or not working? :-)

Greetings, Sascha

Try:
append = "3"
