I turned off the rhgb option and can now see all of the services starting up, without any problems. I then briefly see a text login prompt (which apparently isn't functional), followed by a dark screen with hourglass, when normally I'd get the graphical login screen. My only option at this point is to turn off the computer. Help?!
