FEDORA8: NOT GETTING TO DESKTOP AFTER MAKING LOGIN

[fedora]

you may have a problem to start X Window.
try to boot into runlevel 3 (wihout X), then you already have a 
character based desktop. from there you may call X using startx and stop 
X using CTRL-ALT-BKSP.
this may help you to find the error.
