The availability of only one kernel will limit you trying another kernel.
Have you pressed a key to see the menu, highlight your kernel, press
the
a key to get into append mode?
When you are in append mode, backspace out the rhgb and quiet entries
and then press the enter key after removing the lines from the grub boot
line. I previously said the a key and noted my mistake after sending the
email.
Anyway, if rhgb is causing the problem, you will be able to boot. You
may blank out at the GUI loading or you might see some message while
booting about what is happening.
If you fail once you hit the GUI still, you could boot into runlevel 3
by repeating the steps mentioned above by adding a space followed by the
number 3 on the boot line. Once in runlevel 3, you could log onto the
terminal as root and run
system-config-display --reconfig
to see if you can reconfigure X with the program.
If that fails, you might try running
yum -y update
while you are in runlevel 3 in order to pull in later updates which
could fix your problem. Then reboot your computer to see if X startx.
There has to be at least another kernel newer thsn the one that you have
installed. After a successful update, you should have two kernels
showing in grub.
If you can't get this far, a reinstall is probably the easiest.
The next
time that you run yum to update your computer, do it from a root
terminal so X does not restart on you and kill yum and all other
programs running off of the GUI layer. (I was hit once by X respawning
when yum was running in a gnome-terminal)

I got into the append mode and removed "rhgb quiet" and got to boot
process I chose the "selective startup" so I could decide which
daemon to run. All moved fine till I reached the "cupsd" &
"sshd:/usr/sbin/sshd" & "crond" & "atd" daemonds.
For all of them I've got
the same message, like:"Starting ____: ____: error while loading
shared libraries: libpam.so.0 can't open object file: No Such Folder
Or Directory"
where "____" is the name of the daemon.
At the end of all this stuff I get the black screen with kernel
version line above and:"localhost login:" invitation
line. So what do I need to do now?
Some more thing, would you please reference me to some documentation about all those
daemons and kernel arguments(rhgb quiet)? So I could read and
understand some more things about it.
Tnx again.
P. S. I've read about runlevels... but still don't know how to
handle this. Where and what I need to type if I want to run some of
them?
