You'll get the initial set up done and nothing else and then a shell as the init process. Dependng how messed up the box is you may be able to boot with "linux s" to get to single user. Hard to say as you don't say what it gets to before the blank line and halt. >From the init=/bin/sh you have no job control, no udev and the like so its a bit exciting but it is sufficient to bring up bits of a box by hand and get data off. The joys of binary only modules. Alan -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
