LINUX WON'T BOOT

[unixrookie]

My linux machine won't seem to start up it keeps hanging at "bringing up loopback interface" everything else starts up fine and gives an OK till this point. Any ideas? is there a way that i can start in like single user mode or safe mode?
Thanks
Mark

Sure, what distro and version of linux? Could be a bad network card.
