If a kernel doesn't come up properly, you'll have kernel panic message and the system will go into deep space. The nice thing about linux systems that run under dos like zipspeak or zipslack for sighted users and I suspect basic linux is they make a file in /var/adm/messages.log that contains the transcript of what happened on each boot up attempt. zipslack does this and that makes it possible to use dos to read the log then research the error and do corrections from that point on.
