Lots of things break with low disk space. Since xfs uses Unix sockets
(which have a chunk on the filesystem) and the session manager writes
stuff to /tmp, it's no wonder you'd have issues with no disk space.

"telinit 3" would switch you to run level 3. Also appending the run
level to the end of the "kernel" line in grub works at boot:
...root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet 3
If you want to query the user at boot, you can add some code to the
/etc/rc.d/rc script around line 45 to ask the user. I've never done
this, but a potential bit of code would be:
# Get first argument. Set new runlevel to this argument.
[ -n "$argv1" ] && runlevel="$argv1"
# Query user for desired runlevel...
VAL=""
echo -n "Enter desired run level (1-5) [$runlevel]: "
read VAL
if [ X$VAL != "X" ]; then
runlevel=$VAL
fi
The first two lines are from the file. The remainder are courtesy of
yours truly.
CAUTION: I've not done this, so try it at your own peril! Make a copy
of the file before you edit it and have a rescue CD ready to pull this
junk out if it doesn't work. You have been warned!
