DetailsLike the subject says, I'm no longer able to boot into single-user mode (i.e., kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sda1 vga=773 ro single) after switching to use the mkinitcpio image (kernel26.img).
It's definitely not an issue with the kernel, though, or with my grub settings, because switching back to initrd26.img fixes the problem. For whatever reason, the boot process goes right into init level 3, and I don't get the prompt to enter the root password for single-user mode. I've seen this behavior on 2 different Arch boxes now. Aaron Griffin responded to this on the mailing list as follows: "This has to do with the odd way klibc handles init parameters." |

Reason for closing: Implemented
Additional comments about closing: This has to do with using 'single' instead of the proper 'S' kernel param. mkinitcpio now handles 'single' as of 0.4.4
