Make sure that gdm isn't trying to start on a VT that has a getty running on it. If you can ssh/telnet into your machine try (as root) "fuser -v /dev/tty?" which should tell you if this is happening. I had the same problem and I had to change the line that said "0=Standard" to "0=Standard vt7" in the "[servers]" section of gdm.conf.
