Try restarting, then wait to see if the system starts in X-windows.
Sounds like you are set up for automatic GUI. You will see a console log
in screen, then, after a short pause, X loads, and you should get the
graphical log in screen. Hopefully, the problem is not in the software,
but in your eagerness to use the system. If that isn't it, I don't know
enough to be of help as yet.
