Hm, sad. > How difficult it would be to whitelist udevd and just not kill it? Not sure, but I suspect it really is not wanted behaviour. I suspect the comment from Wouter Verhelst is spot on, and runlevel 1 is what single user mode should be, ie 'the bare minimum for the system to work'. No daemons should block umounting of file systems or otherwise get in the way of the sysadmin trying to fix stuff that need single user mode to be fixed. :) Adding such omitpid feature would probably end up being used by several packages over time, and slowly making runlevel 1 less and less useful.
