OBTW: Didn't 'emergency mode' offer you the opportunity of a root login?

Um... emergency mode is what is run BEFORE any services or service managers are run -- ... before disks are mounted before udev or lvm has started... and certainly before systemd has run. Systemd requires too many things to already be setup to be usable for an emergency mode, IMO. Under sysvinit, emergency mode came up even before the initial boot scripts ran (which were before the single user scripts). How can one boot up into a shell mode before systemd starts? That's emergency mode, or pre-boot mode. That's the most common mode I've used in rescuing a system, since by runlevel 1, all my file systems are mounted along with devices. How do you run the pre-startup, pre-sysinit emergency mode? Can I interactively run each step in systemd's startup list to see what fails? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
