The ticket suggested booting to the login screen and waiting some time before logging in. I waited hours (went out) then logged in. Same gray screen. There is absolutely nothing on the screen except a mouse pointer. No gnome panels, icons or anything. I don't think gnome panel is even running but I can't check because I don't know how to drop to a command prompt from here. In Linux I could press CTRL-ALT-F1 or something like that to switch to console. I have had times where I log in, gnome starts and I can see each item it adds to the panel takes a good 30 seconds or so, while CPU is under heavy use. I think this is different. Thanks, Ryan
