Just had a problem with CentOS 6.5 x86_64 after the last kernel upgrade. It looks like the boot sector got hosed somehow and the system was unbootable. I was able to fix it with a boot to an install image USB and running grub-install. System is now bootable.
However, I've lost the system console. No login prompt is provided at the console.
The system boots and is remotely accessible. Services seem just fine. I don't see any error messages after booting, either dmesg or /var/log/messages.
Can anyone tell me what packages provide console login so I can try a reinstall.
is it booting up in init level 3, or 5 (text console vs X-windows ?)
Did I respond, init 3 - text only?
I also recalled last night that I may have interrupted an selinux relabel process. So this morning I did "touch /.autorelabel" and then rebooted. Alas still no text login.
