There's an easy fix, Ameenah. Edit your /boot/grub/grub.conf file and remove the statement that says rhgb=quiet in the line that starts with the word kernel. Please note, I am writing from memory, and the exact statement may be slightly different. rhgb=quiet is about throwing up a lovely Red Hat graphic so as not to scare average uswers with all those lovely technical details during boot. So frightening, I know! <grin> In fact, your computer is still booting. It's just not talking.
