That part clearly is coincidence, since I've just seen all three
listed and it still wouldn't accept keyboard input.
It seems I have a solution - but I don't quite understand it, so
perhaps you could explain. I commented out the fstab cifs line,
thinking I could add it again later when I've sorted things out.
There was a long delay in booting, while the nfs mounts were said
ot have failed. Then I saw 'Mounting other filesystems' succeed.
When the desktop is fully loaded, dolphin tells me that all the
nfs mounts AND the samba mount are working!
I had some similar problems (the long delay on boot). This was caused
by the missing network service but using the networkManager stuff. But
I user a ldap base user configuration and at some stage while the
network is not up other processes tries to fetch user information from
the ldap server.
Back to your problem: what does your fstab look like and what does
"chkconfig --list" gives you at the console? Does
chkconfig network on
change anything (if you use wired ethernet connections)? In which
order are the services started (ls in /etc/init.d/rc5.d)?

Of course, why the screen scrambled the way it did is a separate
issue, and I've no clue about that.
