An addition to my post above. After I hit ctrl+alt+F7 (tty7) and gdm + x started, a system crash report appeared, informing of a serious kernel issue and suggesting a restart. Today I reinstalled all the latest kernel packages (2.6.31-10). Now the systems works as it should. Karmic opens: grub - xsplash-gdm-xsplash-x.
