    How to stop dhcpd service during Linux boot

    Hallo!I am a Linux newbie using Oracle Enterprise Linux version 4 update 7 (its almost similar to Redhat Linux).

    While going through tutorials, I tried to configure the DCHP service and set it to start after every boot via the command
    chkconfig dhcpd on

    When I boot my Linux,the OS hangs when it tries to start the dhcpd service.Thus,I cannot log into my Linux and shutdown the service.

    How can I go around this and shutdown the DHCP service to enable my Linux to fully load after a boot?

    Thanks.

    booting in "recovery mode" editing boot kernel:
    press e in line kernel on boot and add blank space 1 and boot.
    type chkconfig dhcpd off in terminal
    and reboot

    I hope this help you
    Regards

    In some distros you also can see a message "Welcome to ...! Press 'I' to begin interactive startup" when booting at your tty. I do not know anything about Oracle Linux, but especially in Fedora it works )
