So you want text mode console as the default? If you then you need to edit the /etc/inittab file and change the default runlevel from 5 to 2.
In the /etc/inittab file:
Code:
...
...
# The default runlevel
id:5:initdefault:
change the 5 to 2
Code:
...
...
# The default runlevel
id:2:initdefault:
The you can either reboot or force it to level 2 via the command: init 2

I hope this helps.
