Examine /var/log/XFree86.0.log
I found like someone else on the ml there was a problem with the keyboard
being set to a 105 key one, I changed it to 102
Option "XkbModel" "pc102"
and it got further.
I also needed to run xfs by hand.
Here is a tip if you are using the nVidia driver, which on my machine does not
work properly on the virtual terminals (Ctrl-Alt F1, etc).
At the grub prompt you can type a key (a I think) to append the kernel command
line. If you add
linux 3
here then you will come up in runlevel 3, ie, without X. Then you can use vi
to change the /etc/X11/XF86Config situation. When you want to try X
telinint 5
will try to go to runlevel 5 and start X.
