Hello David!

I can tell you so much that the problem is that gpm (general purpose
mouse) is the program that won't restart properly. GPM is the program
that enables mouse in consoles. It is not wise to try to start gpm while
running X-server.

Try disabling gpm and try again. Or you could try start gpm manually
while beeing root. Just type "/etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S85gpm start" and se what
happens.

Good luck!
