Thanks for all the info. The system is back running as normal.
Everything seemed to be fine when I booted with Knoppix and checked the
links and kernels installed. After checking while in Knoppix, I tried
booting in Debian 2.6.11-1-686 by just removing the vga=0x31B option in
the kernel line. Booting went on as normal. The next time I rebooted in
the same kernel without editing vga=0x31B option and it booted fine again.
It still eludes me what actually went wrong. But the system seems to
boot fine now after 3 tries in 2 different kernels.
Thanks,
