a part of problem with computers is that people tend to forget what pencils
and paper are for.

_normally_, everything you see on screen is not related to why system did not
boot.
therefore, posting last 4 or 5 lines on screen may get you help you need.
also, try booting to level 3, then level 1 to see if system stops.
if you can boot level 3 or 1, have a look in '/var/log' to see what is in
files 'boot.log', 'dmesg' and 'messages'.
if you can not boot level 3 or 1, boot with a previous kernel, or,
installation cd/dvd in rescue mode, or, a live cd/dvd, mount drive/partition
failing system is on and read above files to see what they show.
