That is normal that is the equivilant to dos mode you have to log in and you can do what ever you want from the shell. If you want to get back to xwindows hit alt+f7.

When I say you have to log in you have to type in your user name and password on that blank screen.

You don't us Ctl when at the shell you just use +alt+f1 alt+f2 . . . .Alt+f7, but if your machine hangs I will have to ponder that one. . . what do you get when you open up a terminal window?
