Oracle Linux 8 systems support an "interactive boot" option that can
be used to prevent services from being started. On a Oracle Linux 8
system, interactive boot can be enabled by providing a 1
,
yes
, true
, or on
value to the
systemd.confirm_spawn
kernel argument in /etc/default/grub
.
Remove any instance of systemd.confirm_spawn=(1|yes|true|on)
from
the kernel arguments in that file to disable interactive boot.
Recovery booting must also be disabled. Confirm that
GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY=true
is set in /etc/default/grub
.
It is also required to change the runtime configuration, run:
/sbin/grubby --update-kernel=ALL --remove-args="systemd.confirm_spawn"
grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
