Re: GDM black screen issue.
boot: Linux single
Then when in singlemode you can
remove gdm
and or
check if your xserver is configured correctly
when gdm starts it starts the Xserver. then the screen becomes grey and
thereafter gdm will be displayed.
so i think your xserver config is wrong.
you can try it by starting X by hand and then if after a few minutes it
fails you should look into /var/log/ there are the xserverlogs
