RH Boot failior!!!

[Owen Patrick Smith]

It is probably asking if you want to correct the failure but that isn't
being read for some reason.  Try typing yes and hirtting enter.  you may
need to do this MANY times before it will finish booting.  Red Hat (and
most linuxes I think) will wait for user input if it finds an error while
rebooting instead of fixing the computer as best it can and finishing the
boot process.  Not the best way for an OS thats supposed to work well for
a server but you get what you pay for.
