Hi guys, sorry for the late reply. OK.... um, I guess I'll just tell
you everything that I *know* is going badly, either b/c I spotted it
during startup/shutdown or found it in dmesg.
Straight after "starting: network peripherals sound" etc... I get a
message saying 'audit - unable to connect to audit system'... then,
further down I receive that same error: "starting auditd: error -
unable to connect to audit system".
In dmesg, I found these errors:

I checked out the audit.log file.... I saw places (pretty much the whole
last 10% of the file) that were full of those sorts of errors (i.e. the
"avc: denied {xxx}" things, but the file is so huge that I had doubts
about trying to choose a section of it to post here. It's pretty much
just an endless stream of that stuff I got from dmesg.
In shutdown, it tells me that it fails to sync hwclock (funnily enough,
I just noticed that my clock is wrong... wonder how long that's been
going on and i didn't notice) and it also says it fails at "Stopping NFS
locking". Oh, and once (but strangely, never again) it said it failed
to stop NFS statd.
In X, if I run 'ifconfig' in a shell as root, it tells me there's no
such command. I shut down x and tried again (the connection was active)
and it gave me an answer but I don't really know how to get that text
into the email. I did recognize my connection in the output.
I'm pretty sure it's detecting the device and starting the connection
properly b/c the modem dials and then all the right lights turn on to
say it's connected.... in the GUI, all the internet settings are
unchanged... but when I, say, open evolution and 'send/receive', it
tells me it had a temporary failure in name resolution (the same error
it gives me if I'm not connected).
I checked out the Xorg.0.log after running "startx" and I couldn't see
any problems (no (EE)'s). Everything *seems* to have started as it
should.
So, that's about where I'm at now. My eyes hurt from staring at log
files and I'm not really any better off than I was. I wish I understood
these logs better. It's really frustrating. Anyway, I'll stop now
before I start ranting.
arsenic.
