also tried to get into runlevel 3 using init

From where? Console?

Press Control+Alt+F1 to get console, login as root,
and use:

 init 3

You can also use:

 init 1

      i want to know how to disable the X server
from starting so that i can
get into the normal text-mode and then maybe start

Edit your /etc/inittab file and change the run-level
in this line:

id:3:initdefault:

Regards,

SK
