So you turn it on and it does absolutly nothing ?

No, I've nothing to view output on...it stalls somewhere in the boot-up process.
Well surely the first thing to do is to connect a monitor, you should then be able to see where it's stopping. Connecting the monitor is unlikely to have any effect, especially an old VGA one if you have one lying around.
Perhaps I'm not explaining myself well. It (both) RedHat boxen boot-up just fine with monitor/keyboard/mouse attached, but will not boot up without (what I want). So I have no idea where it's going wrong. I don't get anything in /var/log/messages on a failed bootup, so it's stopping somewhere before syslogd gets started. That's all I know.
