Doesn't display anything indicating it crashed... what behavior is it showing exactly? just stopping or something else? Have you tried booting into recovery mode to see if that works?

Read the "Question Guidelines" link in my posting signature....you don't say what version of RHEL, on what kind of hardware, or what happened before/during/after the boot. Posting a screen shot tells us nothing. Without context, we have NO WAY of helping you at all.

Have you done basic troubleshooting, as you would for any server? Since you're having a network message on the screen, have you tried unplugging the network cable to see if it skips it and completes boot? How did you reboot the server? Any messages before this?? And since you're using RHEL, and you're in such a hurry, and say you're "new to linux" (which is surprising that you got a job as a Linux administrator when you don't know about Linux...), have you called Red Hat support, since you're PAYING FOR RHEL, right??? They can help you with very detailed diagnostics.

You should think about using CentOS instead of RHEL, since you will receive no updates with RHEL.

If I were you, I would start again with a new VM, following these instructions - http://partnerweb.vmware.com/GOSIG/RHEL_7.html (read them carefully, including e.g. "General Installation Instructions for All VMware Products"). Let us know at which stage you meet errors.

It would of course be useful for you to let us know additional information such as the details of your host system, the version of VMWare you are running, and which VMWare settings for the VM in question you have changed from the defaults. It's always best to include this sort of important information right at the start of a thread rather than let us discover it piecemeal as the thread develops.
