Subject: Re: [lfs-dev] 7.10-systemd issue: single user mode

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.
Hey, thanks. Good catch. I can't say that I've had a need to use
recovery mode in a very long time, certainly not before X is installed
and systemd rebuilt. It should fix itself when you do the rebuild in
BLFS. It happens because shadow is not yet installed. Fix is
"SULOGIN=/sbin/sulogin ./configure..." Will get it into the book shortly.


  - in the sysd book only: no need for it in the sysv book.

No worry, it's for the systemd "configure" command...
