unable to boot up in run level 5

This pass Wednesday I downloaded and installed linuxconf (ver 1.26r5-1)
and gnome-linuxconf.  Since then I have not been able to auto-operate at
run level 5 at bootup, it always comes up on run level 3. I've used 
linuxconf
inittab
telinit 5
linux 5 at boot up

None of the above have produced the desired affect.

What statement should I add to lilo.conf to affect a run level of 5
instead of 3?  Currently no statement in lilo.conf exists to set the run
level.

Is there another file that I should edit to set the run level?

My environment is Red Hat Linux ver 7.2 and Ximian Desktop ver 1.0. 
I've used linuxconf to set the run level to 5 (including /etc/telinit 5)
but w/o effect

Thanksfor your help
