  • RedHat boot up problem.

    Posted on

    I have a Dell T5500 Workstation with Red Hat Linux Enterprise 6 installed on it. On starting the system, I face the following problem. the system boots up and doesnt proceed to the login screen. To analyse the problem I booted into init 3. The system works fine till this point. When I try to boot into init 5, with the following command :

     

    [root@COMP:]#init 5

     

     

    The following output is generated :

     

    Calling the system activity data collector (sadc) :
    
    Starting portreserve :
    
    Starting irqbalance :  
    
    Kdump  already running :                      [ OK ]
    
    Starting VirtualBox kernel modules :    [ OK ]
    
    Retrigger failed udev events                  [ OK ]
    
    Enabling bluetooth devices :                
    
    Starting ksm :                                         [ OK ]  

     

     

    Beyond this the system mysteriously does nothing. The login screen never shows up.

     

    Kindly assist me in solving this problem. Any help will be appreciated.

     

    Thanks,
