[SOLVED] Always Single user mode

This is strange, there is nothing in the boot configure causing it to go to run level 1... you might need to remove the rhgb and quiet mode to see what's actually going on during boot to see if you can catch anything "interesting".

Issue is resolved. there was a line in vm.cfg file "extra=1". After removing this line the VM boots normally.

Thanks everyone who participated in thread.

If this is solved can you mark this thread [solved] :3. Just out of curiosity, how did you come across this one? (I mean where/how did you discover this was the issue)

The VM is actuall Oracle Enterprise Linux 5 PV machine. From another forum I learnt that this type of machine can accept command for boot from vm.cfg file too. So I re-checked the file and found the line extra=1 which means boot to single user mode.

Thanks for your replies and help.
