I had a very similar problem with RH 7.3 and an nForce based motherboard. I never managed to get to the root of the problem but I think it was kernel/apm related from some of the Google results I got. I don't know if it's there on RH 8.0 but there's a section in /usr/bin/startkde on 7.3 that checks to see if the machine's a laptop, commenting that section out "fixed" the KDE startup problems, I never managed to find the Gnome equivalent. Can you login properly to a Failsafe session? Does the machine lockup in the failsafe session if you try to cat /proc/apm ? (At least I think it was /proc/apm.)
