Do you mean the runlevel? If so, are you sure that you changed it correctly?
Centos 7 doesn't use runlevels set in inittab like previous versions did. I see that fact is actually noted in /etc/inittab, along with the expected way to do it.
Frank,
Yes, you are correct, I changed the run level and not boot level to 5 and did so by using the command :
ln -sf /lib/systemd/system/graphical.target /etc/systemd/system/default.target
Also, I appreciate everybody's input on this, but I am still at a loss as to how to fix this. Without being able to reboot, it sure makes the set up difficult.
Does anyone else have any ideas??
Greg
I have tried some additional changes that have not made a difference.
I disabled selinux - that made no difference I stopped and disabled firewalld - that made no difference.
I can boot this machine after I turn it off and then back on, but when I try to do a shutdown now -r, the system hangs right after picking the OS that is desired "CentOS Linux..........".
After the machine is turned off the boot process occurs normally after this choice and I get two penguins in the upper left hand corner, and the boot proceeds. When I do a shutdown now -r, I do not get to the penguins and the machine hangs forever until I either unplug it or press the power button for 5 seconds.
Any help would be appreciated!!!
Greg

Everyone,
I did not get much of a response on the list so I filed a bug report. I wanted to document the bug report for anyone else that is having a reboot problem.
