I'm currently experiencing the exact same problem, except when I enter
my login and pw I just get a shell.  I can load the GUI by typing
'startx', but I have no Ethernet access (and therefore no Internet
access) and the hard disk I have connected to the system in an external
USB housing is unavailable.  I can boot in recovery mode, use the
netroot option and then load X so that I have Internet connectivity
(which is how I'm posting this), but there is no network indicator
visible and I still can't access my external USB drive.

The system I'm running is mostly a stock Dell Dimension 4600 (2.66 GHz,
1GB RAM), but the video card is a Gigabyte ATI Radeon HD4650.
