Although, it's rather odd that you are unable to login. I do not have
pam_console either but I can still login through gdm just fine (with a
similar warning in my system log).
If /etc/pam.d/gdm specifies pam_console, then this is why it is
required. George, can you post the contents of that file?

I just downgraded my baselib and pam after I found a simular issue in
the forums. But gdm still not working.
I don't have the time to check the logs (yuck work) this morning,
will check them tonight.
Here is my currant /etc/pam.d/gdm
#%PAM-1.0
auth optional pam_env.so
auth include system-auth
auth required pam_nologin.so
account include system-auth
password include system-auth
session include system-auth
Ok, so we include system-auth. Then we also need to look at
/etc/pam.d/system-auth.
Also, what you have is the version of the pam config file from
gdm-2.6.0.9-r3 (the ~x86 version). Earlier (non ~x86) versions use a
different gdm configuration for pam:
#%PAM-1.0
auth required /lib/security/pam_env.so
auth required /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth
auth required /lib/security/pam_nologin.so
account required /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth
password required /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth
session required /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth
session optional /lib/security/pam_console.so
As you can see, pam_console.so is referenced directly here. Can you
confirm that you still get the error about pam_console.so with -r3, or
only with earlier versions of gdm?

Latest update.
After adding/removing use flags, downgrading/upgrading packages (not to
mention some firefox/thunderbird upgrades thrown in for flavor) based on
information I stumbled across in the forums, gdm is now half working. I
can login as root but not as the user. As to which piece of of the
process actually fixed the problem I don't truly know.
The process of fixing the currant problem brings to mind questions that
are better not addressed in this thread, so I will be opening a new
thread.
Thanks for the help that you each have offered.
