Ok, I got the problem. It was happening because the firewall was REJECTING packets coming to the INPUT chain from the loopback interface. I did not set and rule for loopback acceptance and hence all the problems. Perhaps many programs starting at the booting process try to test their networking using the loopback interface. Because of this, many other things were also misbehaving. Just to let you guys know. Let me know if I should still block the loopback for security reasons. Thanks for the help.

Highlight the kernel you want to load press 'e' for edit select the line that starts with 'kernel' and hit 'e' to edit that line Go to the end of the line and type single as a separate word (press the [Spacebar] and then type single). Press [Enter] to exit edit mode. Back at the GRUB screen, type b to boot into single user mode. > every message and I don't have control over it, I think. Sorry to the > list for this inconvenience.
