runlevel 3 while startup?
Hi!
I need to get to runlevel 3 while the system is booting, since system crashes when I try to start X. I had to install Fedora Core 4 in text mode, but after installation, it tryes to go straigt to Runlevel 5. Now, I basically need to "stop booting" at runlevel 3, before it gets any further to install the nVidia drivers, I hope to solve the problem that way... So: How do I get to Runlevel 3 while my system is booting? --polemon |
edit the file
/etc/inittab change the number in this line. id:5:initdefault: reboot. To change from init 5 to init 3 while the system is loaded, from a ctrl-alt-F[1-6] terminals type init 3. Your post is a bit confusing because if you are installing the nvidia driver you want to be in init 3. |
hit escape and use something like
linux 3 at the lilo prompt... Not sure about grub... |

then press down to the kernel line, press e again and then type the runlevel, e.g. 3, at the end of the line. |
Cool, thank you!
I'm gonna try that right now! ----- What I ment was: After installation, the system boots straigt to runlevel 5. This doesn't work for me, the system hangs there. so I need to boot to runlevel 3 WITHOUT editing inittab first. --polemon |
