That kernel is being booted into single-user mode. Check your boot-loader configuration file -- probably /boot/grub/menu.lst or /etc/lilo.conf -- and see if the kernel's "single" parameter is there. If your object is to avoid pressing Ctrl-D, remove it or make a non-single option the default. It is useful to have the option to boot into single-user mode; I think the best thing to do is make sure your configuration file has both options, with non-single as the default. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
