You should look in /etc/inittab
and change the run level to 3 (from 5)
Change this line id:5:initdefault:
to this
id:3:initdefault:
This will give you a true text mode startup.

I'm wanting my Centos 4.0 box to boot up into TEXT mode, like all of my other Linux servers do. Unfortunately, it only boots into graphics mode and there's some issue with the keyboard (it controls the mouse, very poorly). I can SSH into the box so I can re-config it.. But just don't know where to look in this new version. I tried GRUB.CONF and even the SYSTEM_CONFIG programs.. No luck.
Thanks.

Hi Scott
As root you can go into the file /etc/sysconfig/init and look for the line that says GRAPHICAL=yes and change the yes to a no.
You should be good to go from there.
Hope this helps,
