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
