What

I ran into this problem extensively with FC6 which RHEL5/CentOS5 is
equivalent to for the most part.
When you get to the "boot" prompt type some random characters and hit
enter. For example type "kjsdflkjsalkfjsalkdjf" and press enter. It will
give you an error. Then type "linux" and press enter or just press enter.
It should work just fine now. I don't know what causes it but I read in
on fedoraforums.org some time ago and no one had an answer.
The guy who found the solution actually typed in some nice words and
pressed enter because he was pissed. Then hit enter again and it worked.
Let me know if this worked becuase I am sure others will run into the same
problem if it is what I think it is.
It didn't work. ;(
