Glad to hear you got it booting.  Now that you're this far, can you
send us your /etc/fstab and /boot/grub/menu.lst files?  Also, if you
suspect that some partitions aren't mounting properly (possibly
causing X/mysql/etc to fail) please include the output of the 'mount'
command so we can see what succesfully mounted.

thanks,
tim
