Hi,
Ok, I'm on a steep learning curve here but I think I'm learning fast!
I tried following your suggestions below
but:

the System Time which is what was causing it to groan in the first place. Now
error there is gone.

I looked this up but the lines in my Grub screen are: ================== BELOW THIS LINE
==================
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-1.667 ro
root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00
initrd /initrd-2.6.9-1.667.img
================== ABOVE THIS
LINE ==================
So no mention of "rhgb" or "quiet"!
To get in to command line I do:
c (for command line)
boot (gives error message about kernel, but bring
me to black grub screen!)
<ESC> (brings back to Grub menu but in
black!)
<ENTER> (boots to command line)
Run level is set to 3 already (in inittab). The
first line reads:
id:3:initdefault:
Why is this not causing it to boot to command
line?
