Everyone, I have installed Centos 7.0 on my homework machine in order to take a test drive with it, and am low on the learning curve with it at this point. I have a small Gateway SX2855-UB12P. I have a critical hurdle in that when I try a reboot or when I do a 'shutdown now -r' command the system will start a reboot process but hangs right after the os choices are presented. My install process started with the server version, and I added the gnome desktop latter. I also changed the boot level to 5. Has anyone else had this problem, or any suggestions as to a remedy. Thanks, Greg Ennis

Thanks, Greg Ennis ---------------------------------------- I failed to mention that I can reboot it by powering it down (no need to remove the plug) by pressing and holding the power button which turns everything off, and then hitting the power button again. After this it will boot. Obviously this makes testing this machine remotely impossible. Greg

Centos 7 doesn't use runlevels set in inittab like previous versions did. I see that fact is actually noted in /etc/inittab, along with the expected way to do it. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Real D 3D Digital Cinema ~ www.melvilletheatre.com

I suggest to read systemctl manpage ( towards the end) hope this helps.
