Hello,
can you start the GUI by going first to level 3 ?
That is :
reboot ,when GRUB opens ,choose the line kernel 2.6.31-12 and type "a" .
Append a space and "3" to the kernel start arguments .
Boot with enter or "b" ,and be patient for 2-3 min.
This start the os into level 3 ,and you should be able to login with user name
and pasword .
After login type "startx" ,again some patience and your in GUI.
There are still some issues and checks ,but first this should work .
Reply the results and we'll see.
Greetings
