Wouldn't you know it, I just rebooted my SL6.0 or 6.1 linux PC prior to leaving
town for a week and it hangs on all 3 of the available kernels.
I see a black screen with white letters "Scientific Linux 6."
I've not tried start up options. No problem with this PC. I did have a matlab
issue using lots of cpu with java machine which is why I rebooted, that was a
minor irritant.
Is the reboot hang related to the xorg update issue? As I can't access this PC
remotely (I can't ping it), any suggestions on how I fix this?
This sounds like the problem I'm having with my laptop, which
seems subtly different from the xorg issue.
I can boot to runlevel 3 (or for me better level 1) as zxq9 describes,
Pat's sugggestion of dropping " rhgb quiet" at the end of the boot
command helps too, but I seem to get stuck when I bring the network
up - NetworkManager is a suspect.
