You could also create a separate grub.cfg "text" entry either directly or via "/etc/grub.d/40_custom". You could even use grub-reboot to use that option for the next reboot. But simply editing the kernel cmdline at boot is less convoluted... The grub1 AUTOKERNEL options were more flexible :( Your earlier suggestion of creating a separate runlevel for a DM via insserv overrides is probably the best option but you'll still have to edit the kernel cmdline at boot for one of them... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
