I've been running Redhat 7.3 <snip>
Last week, I rebooted and the xwindows system did not come up.
Something like this happened once on my RH8 system.
/var/lib/xkb was gone and "default font 'fixed'" was gone.
Re-installing the XFree86 rpm restored /var/lib/xkb and re-installing the XFree86-base-fonts rpm restored the font.
Look for clues in logs, not sure which. Maybe /var/log/XFree86.0.log, /var/log/messages and/or /var/log/boot.log
Redhat system should have Lynx in /usr/bin which will allow you to retrieve rpms without X if you need to. It's a bit wierd to use, but gets the job done.
Or with wget or ncftp
