PCLOS 2010 Live USB & Init: no more processes left in this runlevel {SOLVED }

[mikebartnz]

Hi there all
I have used PCLinuxOS Live USB Creator to create a KDE live USB from an ISO and on shut down or reboot just after "Syncing with the hardware clock" or similar I get "Init: no more processes left in this runlevel".
I have done the same with LXDE without this problem.
I have searched the net with no joy so far.  Any help would be much appreciated.

Did you use the latest ISO .....  2010.12 ?

Can you post the menu.lst entry for that boot option (KDE)?

Not too sure about the ISO but it was pclinuxos-kde-2010.iso. I suspect it is the first 2010.

Menu.1st is

timeout 10
color black/cyan yellow/cyan
gfxmenu (hd0,0)/boot/gfxmenu
default 0

Your menu entries look correct, so I would suspect that the shutdown/reboot problem is due to the ISO.


If you have space on that USB stick, maybe install a 2010.12 ISO alongside the present KDE and do a comparison?

Hi,

"Init: no more processes left in this runlevel"

This is not a problem for itself (unless you notice other wrong things, in example system hangs), it's only an informative message that at some point
of the shutdown process all services have been stopped.
Probably a phrase like "Init: no more active services (cups, ssh, sound ....) left in this runlevel" would sound better this days,
but this phrase come from more or less 30 years ago ... early Unix Systems...

The problem is it never finishes the shut down or reboot.
I will download the latest ISO and give it a try.

Try this:
move fromusb to the end of the kernel line.
remove fromusb from the Copy to Ram item.

IIRC, the shutdown/reboot sequence is actually finished except for the final command.
It was due, as I recall, to the incorrect 'halt' file being used when running on USB.
It would shut down correctly if running on CD.

After it was discovered, later ISOs used the correct halt file.

If the problem is as I believe then using a later ISO should fix it.
