Okay, that looks fine. Didn't you mention that dmesg also saw a com2? It
doesn't seem to be listed in /proc/interrupts. Check your
BIOS/modem/whatever to make sure that it's not conflicting.

Okay, a couple of things. First, the error that it's got there is about it
being unable to run X. Check to make sure that /etc/X11/X links to your
specific X server in /usr/X11R6/bin/.

Don't restart it, kill it. (/etc/rc.d/init.d/gpm stop)

Doesn't really matter at this point, does it? :)
