CentOS - Mar 2013 - Help with thread Centos 6.4 won't reboot on install

Newbie here. Need help with a thread that has about 25 posts. No 
replies in a few days. The thread is in software support for centos 6 
and the subject of the thread is Centos 6.4 won't reboot on install. 
Have had limited success in getting a login screen but once I logout, I 
can't get back in again. It was mentioned in the thread that the problem 
is likely in Network Configuration. I have no GUI (gnome) no mouse, no 
terminal, and keyboard use only with Ctl+Alt+F2. Can login as root but 
have no luck getting the GUI to appear or to get a user login screen. 
Thanks in advance for your help.

It would help if you actually post the URL:

I think you need to take another entry-level course in English, in
writing....

Sounds like several problems, from what I can tell from the contorted
para, above. First, you appear to have a problem with X. Does the correct
driver *work*?
   Questions for this: what video card?
                       do you have an /etc/X11/xorg.conf file (not
subdirectory)
                          if so, what driver is it showing?

Next: you can't log back in (as you?), but can as root.
   Questions for this: what's in /var/log/secure after you've tried?
                       Or /var/log/messages?
                       what's in your username entry in /etc/password for
shell?

Send me your physical address, and I'll see if I can scrape up a blue book

The median adult native English with high-school education has about
11,000 stem words from which perhaps 40-50k derivative words are
formed.  Technical jargon aside, one only requires about 6000 root
words to comprehend the essence of approximately 90% of all written
English text.

A native English speaker acquires about three new stem words per day
or over 2500 per year.

But, evidently one may be a boor with any size vocabulary.
