Details

Description:
When trying to append the runlevel at boot-time (for example in grub, syslinux...) usually adding the number of the desired runlevel helped to boot automatically into this runlevel.

Since initscripts 2011.04.1-2 (and at least in combination with kernel 2.6.38.5-1) this does not work anymore


Additional info:
* kernel26 (2.6.38.5-1)
* Boot Options runlevel 3: "kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sda2 resume=/dev/sda3 ro 3"
* Boot Options runlevel 5: "kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sda2 resume=/dev/sda3 ro 5"

This task depends upon

Do you have a graphical login manager in your DAEMONS?
Comment by Christian Katterl (theCat) - Tuesday, 10 May 2011, 11:24 GMT
/etc/rc.conf

DAEMONS=(syslog-ng !crond @network @ntp)

Before the Update (Kernel and initscripts) everything worked perfectly.

Now i can choose whatever i want in kernel parameters, always runlevel 3 is bootet (because it's default in /etc/inittab)

Thanks for reporting. Could you attach your inittab?
Comment by Christian Katterl (theCat) - Wednesday, 11 May 2011, 04:08 GMT
Here it is.

Hint:
Using "init 5" at the console works fine, runlevel 5 is started.
   inittab (1.1 KiB)

Tested now with initscripts 2011.05.02-1 and kernel 2.6.38.7-1
The problem persists in these versions too.

Does this problem still exists with initscripts 2011.06.4-1 and kernel26 2.6.39.1-1 ?

In my tests it work as expected.

Seems to be working.
I could test it on my workstation but not on the system where i detected this problem first.
The 'source-machine' was a live-system built using larch.
As aufs2 is not in the repositories for the moment i cannot test it on this live-system.
