Just to clarify, happens the same with lightdm. The slim.log file, i
deleted the old one, so it's a fresh on, just after hanging, says:

----
slim: unexpected signal 15

slim: waiting for X server to shut down

slim: waiting for X server to begin accepting connections.
----

The F1 session choice is there for me as well, but it does not bring me
anywhere (only the empty yellow window).

Just guessing in the dark: I installed lilo as a booloader (not
grub) ... (???)
