CentOS 5.3 grub - different way to single-user mode
Thought this post might be useful to other noobs if some experienced folks could confirm the information.
I was trying to boot to single user mode (ahead of *needing to*). In researching this I saw several posts with grub.conf files like this: root (hd0,0)but my CentOS 5.3 'default' (i.e., untouched by noob hands) grub.conf looks like this: - the difference being that the 'kernel' line is now the xen image and the OS I want in single-user mode is on the "module /vmlinuz-2.6....." line. Many of the posts I saw suggest adding '1' or 'single' to the "kernel" line (via the grub boot time interface for a one time execution). What I did was add '1' to the "module /vmlinuz-2.6....." line and it worked. I hope someone finds this useful. |
well that's the same thing. it's the kernel parameters.
