See if your /etc/inittab file is okay, On my machine it reads

#
# Default runlevel.
id:5:initdefault:

# System initialization.
s0::sysinit:/bin/bash -c 'C=/sbin/booterd; [ -x $C ] && $C'
si::sysinit:/bin/bash -c 'C=/etc/rc.d/rc.modules; [ -x $C ] && $C default'
s2::sysinit:/bin/bash -c 'C=/etc/rc.d/rc.serial; [ -x $C ] && $C'
bw::bootwait:/etc/rc.d/rc.boot

Check if you inittab is fine and if no get a copy of it.
