Package: sysvinit Version: 2.62-1 When I try to switch to single-user mode using the command `runlevel s' a problem occurs: the system correctly terminates all programs and gives me the prompt from sulogin. However, when I enter my password the characters are echoed on the screen. After entering the password (correctly) nothing happens, until I press Control-C, after which the system returns to the default runlevel (ie 2).
Booting directly into single-user mode via lilo or loadlin works correctly. System used is the latest stable Debian (1.1.something) with kernel 2.0.18. Wichert.
