    Hi

    I have this also. The culprit on my system seems to be the GPM (Console Mouse
    Services).

    I loged on in runlevel 1 (append single to your kernel command), and tried to
    start that service. It hangs while starting. When I aborted, and then
    checked with ps, it show that the process is loaded... So my guess is this is
    something in the configuration file.

    Anyway, my fix was to chkconfig level 123456 gpm off, then exit and the system
    boots up normally.

    Hope this helps

    Andy
