See if this helps. At the grub boot screen, edit your current kernel 
parms and add "3" to the end of the kernel line. This will force the 
system to boot into run level 3 and as such avoid the graphic boot.

I have had a few problems like this in the past and the "enabling swap 
space" text is the last I can see on the console while in the background 
rhgb is trying to start the GUI.
