Slackware 10.2 boots to run level 1
Hello.
I'm new to Slackware and BSD style init, but I have been running Debian for about a year. I downloaded 10.2 from the Slackware site using bit torrent, burned a cd, and installed the distribution with no errors. The only variation from the normal install is that I didn't install lilo because I am already using grub. My problem is the system always ends up in run level 1. I have tried changing the default runlevel in initab to 4 but it still boots to run level 1. telinit from level 1 to 3 or 4 works fine. My inittab file: Code:
id:3:initdefault: Quote:
Thanks in advance for any help!!! Norm |
What do you have in your grub.conf file for the Slackware kernel? It sounds like the boot up process is being forced into single user mode.

Heres your problem (correct me if I'm wrong):
"id:3:initdefault:" The '3' should = 4 instead. According to the inittab file, your booting to "init 3", which is multiuser CLI mode. As you know "init 4" is what you want. |
booting to run level 1 solved
Steve,
You are correct about it being forced! Thanks for pointing me in the right direction - grub. I have been pounding my head against the wall (you should see the wall) trying to figure out what is going on in rc.d and all of the time it was the way I had grub configured. I recently switched from lilo and just copied menu.lst from LFS. Code:
title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.14.3.120205 I should really do some reading before just blindly installing something or next time I might break something. Thanks for responding Dankles! 'preciate the help!!!! Norm |
No problem - glad it's working :)
