I have an HP DL380 Gen9 server that I just installed RHEL 7.0 on. Yesterday I was able to log in and setup a few tools and users. Overnight I turned the server off. This morning when I boot the server gets through initialization and gets to what appears to be a RHEL init screen and then the screen goes black.
All of the hardware indicators show green through ILO and it boots normally.
The screen shows black on both the connected monitor and the remote console.
Am I doomed to just re-installing the OS? Anything else that could be causing the OS init to abort?

The note from Michael Hampton exposed the core issue which is this: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2015-2380.html#Red
Booting to single user command line mode and running yum update resolved the issue.
