    Just to confirm, your system boots into a terminal by default, you
    rebooted your computer and all text was displayed at the terminal
    including the login prompt?

    How about if you boot into single-user mode? (you should be able to do
    this by entering "linux single" (without the quotation marks) at the lilo
    prompt).

    Regards,
    Adam
