i have found that if i run
killall esd
when the live cd stops booting, then it continues, and loads the desktop 
normally.

** Changed in: Ubuntu
Sourcepackagename: None => esound
       Status: Needs Info => Unconfirmed

** Description changed:

  when booting the herd 3 powerpc desktop cd, gnome doesn't start. the
  gnome splash shows, then disapears. only the default brown gradient
  shows.the mouse moves, right cliking does nothing.
  
  i can CTRL+ALT+F1 to a terminal. top shows that metacity, nautilus,
  gnome-panel etc are running. nothing is at high cpu.
  
  the date is correct, and lo is up.
  
  there are no errors in dmesg.
  
  running
  DISPLAY=:0 gnome-terminal
  and switching to CTRL+ALT+F7 shows the window boarder of gnome-terminal, but 
inside the boarder is just white.
+ 
+ running
+ killall esd
+ causes the booting and loading of gnome to continue
