RHEL 5 screen just went blank after displaying Starting udev [ok]..
After i replaced the PC with the new motherboard...its RHEL(5) has stop working as the screen just went blank(& remains there) immediately after displaying "Starting udev: [OK]..".
Kindly suggest.
Do you mind telling the brand of video card or the exact model of motherboard please, so that we can help you?
i'm using integrated graphics. Its an ASUS motherboard . and the cpu is Pentium D(3GHz).
This new motherboard is totally different from the old(defective) one.
I agree with John VV, that the change of motherboards probably would cause problems like this. Reinstalling would probably be the best way, because otherwise it would be a hassle to change all the many config files, etc.

Re-installation is the last option for me. As i have some applications which i cannot afford to loose. Now i can't do anything as the os just hang after the earlier specified error messages...
John, it is an Intel i915 Northbridge. I thought it could need nomodeset, but that's a lot more common with nVidia. Although, the OP could try appending "nomodeset" to the kernel command line in grub and see what happens.
