This sounds a lot like the problem with the nvidia-drv-x11 package from RPMForge. Are you, by any chance, using it? If so, you should be able to boot into run level 3 without any problems, and X (run level 5) should start working after you remove it. That is, at least, my experience. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
Hi Marko: No, my box is using Intel integrated video on the MOBO. And, this is the one that has the problem. My daughters box, which does not have the problem, has nvidia. Lanny
SOLUTION: I Googled for "starting udev". One of the possible solutions suggested was to add "acpi=off" at the end of the line for that Kernel. I did that, after powering the box off and then back on, and it is working:
[lanny@dell2400 ~]$ uname -a Linux dell2400.homelan 2.6.18-92.1.1.el5 #1 SMP Sat Jun 21 19:04:27 EDT 2008 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
Which configuration file do I edit, to make that change? TIA! Lanny

/etc/grub.conf if you use grub. /etc/lilo.conf if you use lilo.

Thanks and you are correct. I figured it out and fixed it permanently, before reading your reply. I'm a happy camper again! Since I'd modified it in the grub menu, when booting, and it then booted OK, I knew that it had to do with grub.... So, I modified the /etc/grub.conf entry for the new kernel (added acpi=off at the end of the line for the new kernel) and then I shut down the box. After powering back on, it booted into the new kernel, without any problem. :-)
