hi all,
I have a problem with my CentOS 6.3 distribution only when I restart or turn off the machine it does not restart properly. remains in both cases black screen and then I do not understand exactly what he's doing.
grub after I hit send and then darkness. only after that forcement for a further time the power cycle then it works.
the kernel version is 2.6.32-279.14.1.el6.i686
where is the problem? thanks in advance cheers

The OS does not have a DE When I turn off/on or reboot the machine, after grub I see charge the os but then when it should ask me for the login, black screen
I solve the problem by turn off/on the machine a couple of times
Hi, Paolo,

Ok. Have you worked with machines like this model before? Does it have a *lot* of memory (that is, hundreds of gigs)? We have servers that take a *while* to "configure memory", and unless the BIOS setting for "quick post" is true, it takes forever. (We had one server that was taking 10-20 MINUTES to finish the BIOS POST).
A DE - default?

Do you mean you see the grub menu? Has it come all the way up? Do you have it coming up in runlevel 5? In the last case, you might have a problem with X.

VERY MUCH not a good solution. You might consider talking to the vendor about warranty support.

He wrote it's after grub which means it's something else and the basic thing is to disable any LOGO and post screens on centos to see if there is a basic output from the kernel while starting up the system. it might hang a bit On a specific stage and will show it in the logs after a successful boot.
How about network activity during this black screen time?
