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.

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
