Hi,
when accessing Redhat, it does prompt with the following
what to adjust to the OS? How to get the normal login prompt, after having started the OS?
First, that is NOT Red Hat, that's Oracle Linux. Second, that *IS* a 'normal login prompt'....servers don't typically have GUI's, and the newer versions of RHEL and derivatives (like Oracle), don't install it by default.

So why don't you type in a different user name, instead of root to log in with??? Seems very obvious.
Also, as you've been asked NUMEROUS times previously, why haven't you contacted Oracle support????
and then have re-started the machine, it is still the same.
...and...

And you have ALSO been asked several times before (but have ignored the question), HAVE YOU CALLED ORACLE SUPPORT???? OEL is NOT FREE, nor is Red Hat, and you never answer that question. And did you bother to even TRY to look this up?? Editing the /etc/inittab file will change the default runlevel...this is noted in the OEL 7 documentation, and in the Red Hat Enterprise documentation, which is what OEL is based on.
Again, you need to PAY FOR RHEL and/or OEL, and when you do, you can call support for these questions.
This problem is something related to Redhat and I did ever resolve the same problem within this forum. Could anyone please help?
Did you not read or understand what you were told???
AGAIN:
Servers typically don't have GUI's
The prompt you're seeing is NORMAL and is working
You were told to edit a file which will change the default behavior. DID YOU EDIT IT???
OEL and RHEL ARE NOT FREE...did you call support????
Again, having people ask you things over and over isn't good. Not answering questions that people ask you isn't good. Asking for help, and not reading it/trying it isn't good. Pay attention.
No it is NOT
you ARE NOT USING REDHAT
SO IT CAN NOT BE A REDHAT PROBLEM BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT USING REDHAT !!!!
you are using "Oracle linux " a clone of the redhat source code
and as has been stated servers normally DO NOT!!!! have a GUI installed
a DESKTOP GUI is not needed or EVEN WANTED on a server - they are not wanted
so
desktop gui's are NOT installed on servers ( by default)
if you NEED a DESKTOP install
then install a DESKTOP
