Hi Jonathan,

I added "single" and removed "quiet".  The boot then proceeded till I got a
flashing line at the top of the screen saying

lp: driver loaded but no devices found

alternating very rapidly with another line I couldn't read.  No further
progress.

Maybe scroll lock can stop it.

Ummm...  Mac keyboards don't have scroll lock!

Then I rebooted and this time left "quiet" there.  The boot proceeded till
it said

GNOME display manager loading

I assume there was no "single" this time?  (gdm should not be getting
loaded in single-user mode.)

Yes, single WAS there!!  Let me double-check...

yes, what I said was what happened. Both single and quiet were there. The actual line printed was

Starting GNOME Display Manager: gdm3

Then there were a couple of lines that flashed on and off very quickly -- I saw the words "bluetooth" and "daemon" there. Then a blank screen with flashing cursor.

Any bright ideas?

Cheers,  Mike.
