How odd. What distribution and version are you using?
A. While most Linux distributions use runlevel 5 for X, Slackware uses
runlevel 4.
B. You really get *nothing*, not even a text-based login: prompt? If so, it
means that the distribution is set to run NO console processes at runlevel
5. Either you modified your inittab file in some other way, or this is a
distribution I'm unfamiliar with.
If you are locked out, try at the LILO prompt entering "linux single"
(substitute something for "linux" if you named the lilo stanza differently).
This will get you back in to allow you to change the inittab "initdefault"
line back to somethign usable.
