Unless I made a mistake following the book, it seems 7.10-systemd
installations are unable to boot into linux single-user mode without
modification. When “single” is added to the kernel boot parameters,
Systemd’s rescue.target (aka runlevel 1) looks for “sulogin” in a different
location than where it’s installed by following the LFS book. Because of
this, systemd just transitions on to the usual graphical.target mode (aka
runlevel 5). I fixed this on my system by issuing:
sudo ln -s /sbin/sulogin /usr/sbin/sulogin
I’m not certain what a better long-term fix for LFS is; move the sulogin
executable (like “passwd” gets moved per LFS instructions after installing
“shadow”), patch systemd to use the current location, or add a symlink like
I did. Regardless it would be helpful to add this note to 7.10-systemd
errata, and improve the next LFS-systemd release.
We still support the possibility of a separate /usr partition, so it would
appear that the best solution is to fix systemd.
I don't do systemd very often, so I could be mistaken, but it appears that
ac_cv_path_SULOGIN="/sbin/sulogin"
in config.cache would do what is needed.
