Thanks for the suggestion. Indeed the initdefault is set to 5 in /etc/inittab. The server boots up in level 5 but then goes to level 3 after seemingly some problem with Xwindows. Please share any other helpful suggestion.

If it's starting in level 3, that is text mode.

Make sure that in your /etc/inittab, the "initdefault" line reads 5, not 3.

I am running RH7.2 on an Intel Celeron processor. Whenever I reboot, the server tries to bring up the XWindows. I presume it fails and gives me a command line login prompt. After that it switches to "Init Level 3" and tries to restart some of the applications. I can now login to the server and bring up the GUI using "startx". Can someone shed some light on where the problem lies and what to look for?
