Hi Neal,
I had a similiar problem with XFree86-4.3.0-64. I
first tried kernel 2.6.3-2.1.253.2.1 as well and also
an earlier one and the same thing happened for both.
My screen froze during boot-up, but my keyboard still
worked. The X server had crashed.
After an hour of trying to figure out what was wrong,
I figured out that it was glibc. I was able to get to
a command-prompt (Ctrl-F1 at the blank screen). From
there, attempting to run startx resulted in a
different error message from the logs (logs said that
/dev/apm_bios didn't exist). The output from the
command line complained about not being able to find
something in a glibc file (I don't remember exactly
what it said, but it was trying to reference something
that didn't exist). I believe that it was version
2.3.3-13.
I upgraded to 2.3.3-17 and everything worked. The X
server started as expected. I also downgraded to -63
for XFree86, but I believe that it was the newer glibc
that did it. I'm also running an earlier kernel (it's
configured just how I want it - 2.6.3-1.118), but it
should work with the current one.
-Monica.
