Um,
You probably dont want to hear this but its all I can suggest what I'd do.
Perhaps reinstall fresh - selecting format new linux partitions as you go
(when it asks during the install).
Select just the basic packages for a first install, just to get it up and
running. Then go back and install other stuff once you've got it working ok
where you can boot and at least get in :)
regards
Gina
