which takes precedence?

[tony.chamberlain at lemko.com]

I have a machine running SMP whose grub entry is

 kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-55.ELsmp ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quiet 3

(and uname -a: Linux 8mile 2.6.9-55.ELsmp #1 SMP) BUT Runlevel N 5

I used to set runlevel by making id 3 in /etc/inittab:

 id:3:initdefault:

Management said not to use inittab but rather grub.conf. Explains before why even when
id in inittab was 5, the runlevel would be 3.

But now, in grub.conf there is the 3 (as above) at the end of the kernel line (5 in inittab) and
it is coming up in level 5 after reboot. So which has precedence, inittab or grub.conf and
why is it coming up 5?
