A Terminal window should work for those commands. You also can still
get a full screen console the old way with Ctrl-Alt-F2.

Also try pulling out any other cards, especially those that we're sure
couldn't be causing the problem...
Using a console in X Windows defeats the purpose of minimizing the
amount of stuff running for doing troubleshooting.
Pulling other cards is a good idea, but it should be coupled with
minimizing the number of drivers loaded.
Probably the best approach would be to turn off udev and boot into
single mode, then load modules by hand. But doing this is way out of
newbie territory and sounds like something for an installfest (no pun
intended). Unfortunately, I won't be here for either of the next two
installfests.
