I had the exact same problem. I found that apt-get remove xfs sorted me
out. :)
now i have a problem in that xdm starts up on bootup, but i like to
*choose* when i go into x... apt-get remove xdm which worked for me before,
wont work out now. It says "E: Package xdm is not installed". but it is. It
launches on bootup.
and from the login screen that xdm presents to me, i can login as, eg,
troy, enter my password, and it goes back to the loging screen. Same deal
for root. If i enter an incorrect user/pass, it says "login incorrect", but
if i enter the corret user/pass, it kicks me back to the screen. I have
gnome, but could the problem be that in the upgrade, a link from someplace
to somewhere didnt happen properly?
can anyone give me any help?
Thanks very much,
Troy

Subject: XFS hanging during boot
I'm trying to boot my potato after upgrading to XF 4.01. The system hangs
while starting the font server (XFS ). I tried booting into single user
mode to remove S20XFS from /etc/rc2.d but the file system is mounted read
only. Does anyone know how to work around this? Thanks
