RHEL5 boot freeze

Here's a screen shot, of the screen at boot; this is as far as it got booting up Red Hat 5.

This is the first time that this has happened.

The events that transpired immediately prior are as follows:

- Attempted to create a virtual machine with Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium as the OS in VMware running on RHEL5. (This attempt was unsuccessful, but those details are for another post.)
- I attempted to put the machine in the "suspend" state. It did not appear to go into the suspend state correctly and I forced power off by holding down the power button.
- When I powered the machine back up, the Toshiba Recovery disc was still in the optical drive and Windows started to boot off of the recovery disc. I powered off again by holding down the power button.
- When I powered the machine back up, I ejected the disc, and then at the GRUB screen selected to boot up Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, and the screen shot shown here shows as far as the boot sequence got.

Here's the copy:
