hmmm. first off; boot to single-user mode (type 'linux -s' at the LILO prompt at boot time); and edit /etc/inittab. change your default runlevel to 3, instead of 5, so it won't try to start GDM. then take a look at your /etc/hosts file. is there an entry in there for your current hostname? there needs to be; or else a DNS record for it; or GDM will crap out. (another reason I distrust GDM).
