Did you try creating a new runlevel (dale_special) and then booting into it= by=20 appending softlevel=3Ddale_special ? That will prove if the Gentoo softlevel mechanism is no longer available. > > Time to go farther up the food chain I guess.

I think that nox brings you all the way up to runlevel 3, not runlevel 1. > The thing is, I do use them which is why I went to the trouble of > setting them up to begin with.

The definitive answer is that the gentoo "single" softlevel does not work. = =20 The Linux standard "single" or "S" or "1" runlevel works fine (but I can't= =20 recall if I tried "1" recently). So the question remains what is happening with other softlevels if you care= to=20 create them. =2D-=20 Regards, Mick --nextPart2219867.Jdj1i2FaZE Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (GNU/Linux) iEYEABECAAYFAk3Qv6wACgkQVTDTR3kpaLb8/wCfWhVSNzmhpSC7B00k4zgSjnCr nBkAn10JjguYjJAMY22YQcOXr2Dem1YJ =DOk1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart2219867.Jdj1i2FaZE--
