OK, then yes it looks like there is something listening on port 7100, 
although it also looks like the xfs service is not starting at boot.  I 
say this because after issuing the restart command it failed to 
shutdown, but started OK.  After starting it this way, issuing the 
restart command gets a successful shutdown and restart of xfs.

Yes, I have since tried to bring X up again and an X session started 
up.  I then tried booting a terminal and it would get an IP address 
from the server and that was about it.    From /var/log/messages it 
looks like the problem lies with gdm

Anymore advice?
