Thanks for reply.
I replaced break=y with init=/bin/sh.
In that case case system just hangs with the following message.
"Freeing unused kernel memory : 400k freed".
Thanks!!

My grub.conf is as following.
title Linux Init Break
kernel /vmlinuz root=/dev/sda6 ro rootwait break=y
initrd /initrd.gz
What I expect is by adding *break=y* to cmdline,
init will pause early in the boot process and launch an
interactive sh shell which can be used for troubleshooting purposes.
But kernel is disregarding break=y. And it loads up without
launching sh shell.
Is it the right way to launch interactive shell ?
I would remove the break=y and replace it with init=/bin/sh
What version of CentOS are you running?
You didn't mention what version of CentOS you are running. I also realized
that this kernel line looks a bit non-standard. What is the purpose of the
rootwait parameter in this context? Have you tried without it but including
init=/bin/sh ?
You're welcome. Glad I could help.
