I'm suspecting that since there was a problem both with rhgb stilling being run *and* runlevel 3 being ignored that maybe the OP hit escape instead of enter after changing the grub kernel parameters. I'd suggest trying again, but after hitting escape before the three second timeout expires and hitting 'a' to edit the kernel command line (placing the cursor at the end of the command line), delete the rhgb parameter and add '3' and then be sure to hit enter to boot the kernel with the new command line. -- -Paul Iadonisi Senior System Administrator Red Hat Certified Engineer / Local Linux Lobbyist Ever see a penguin fly? -- Try Linux.
