Well, I'm stumped. I booted back into the previous kernel (kernel-2.4.18-17.8.0) and sure enough I'm back into X without any problems at all. But when I boot into the newer kernel (2.4.18-18.8.0), I can't get in. The newer one was installed via up2date. I'm happy that solved the problem (I think?) except it would be nice to have the updated one which fixed holes/flaws/whatever.
