If you are using grub, try this: (login as root) vim /etc/grub.conf (or use the editor of your choice -- kedit is fine) (an example of what to look for:) title Red Hat Linux (2.4.18-19.8.0) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.18-19.8.0 ro root=LABEL=/ hdd=ide-scsi initrd /initrd-2.4.18-19.8.0.img (here's a really quick change:) kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.18-19.8.0 ro root=LABEL=/ hdd=ide-scsi 3 The "3" at the end of the line of kernel parameters is the init level. 1 = Single user (I personally find this annoying) 2 = Multi-user, no networking (although it's worthwhile to check if the network daemon is on or off. RH 7.3 leaves it on from some strange reason.) 3 = Multi-user, networking 4 = Undefined (Customize this as you will) 5 = XFree86, Multi-user, networking Never, ever set it to 0 (shutdown) or 6 (reboot).
