Comment 72 for bug 254840

Ok...here's an update from my futile efforts...I've tried to replace the xorg.conf file, but the backups are all void, too...I've tried booting an older kernel, with the same result. I've switched to a tty, done a killall on hald and gdm, and restarted them in the proper order, which brings up a grey screen with a black X for a cursor and does nothing else. I've tried the update-rc fix, and still no mouse or keyboard...switching to tty1 from the hung boot window, I see an error message that says "FATAL; Module -r not found", which is obviously the end of an output from something, but it doesn't say WHAT it's the output from. Nothing works so far...I'm not a complete n00b, but I don't know how to interpret the logfiles, so I'm posting the ones I think may be pertinent...If I miss any that need to be looked at, or post any extra ones that aren't needed, I apologize. I greatly appreciate any help anyone can offer...
