Staying at runlevel 7: No more processes to run

openLHAG · June 21, 2011, 2:24pm

Dear all!

On my fresh installed 11.4:

I boot the desktop entry in GRUB, and it´s doing a fast boot. It loads INIT and switchs to runlevel 7. Then the comment:

init: No more processes left

or something like that. after a CTRL+ALT+DEL and a press on enter during the driver load, it all works fine.

Is that just a standard fault, or should I do something? If so, what?

thanks in advance

How did you get runlevel 7? Never saw that on an openSUSE system.

Nor on any Unix system either IIRC. rotfl!

And there is no INIT either, you may mean the init process.

There is no runlevel seven defined. Set your system to runlevel 1, 2, 3, or 5.

There is no runlevel seven defined. Set your system to runlevel 1, 2, 3, or 5.

How? I opened the runlevel-editor (via YaST) and didn´t see anything which started in runlevel 6, so 5 is the highest.

I will reboot my machine again, The failsafe mode is running without any problems (and with out any serious configuration.)

thanks

Afrer two reboots, it´s now all working perfect. I don´t know how it solved, but my system is running. I will post here if it still runs after the next shutdown & start.

thanks

Actually runlevels 7-9 are valid but not used.

Yes, they are valid, but not defined, which is what I said. There are no
actions defined for that level. The system should have checks and abort the
level change, but instead you get errors and perhaps a crash.

No, there are more, but yast (correctly) will not let you choose them.

I have no idea how/why you selected runlevel 7, but you did. Thus your
problems.

As runlevel 6 is used for reboot, I guess that indeed there are not much services to be started there.

Some Unix systems don’t even have runlevels. In particular systems before SysV init, like SunOS.
