Now that I'm home, it's easier to respond.
Thanks for the idea (Doh!)... I was able to boot in single use mode.
From what I can see everything is fine. The goofy /dev/hda1 partition
is NOT the root partition as I thought but instead a 32 Megabyte
"island" that I used when this workstation was dual boot. The root,
home, and boot partitions are all fine. So, I have no idea why the darn
computer takes so long to boot (pausing ever so long at automount even
though I renamed auto.* files) and why I cannot authenticate to log in.
Question: Could it have to do with changing the IP range of the DHCP
server that serves this box from 192.168.0.N to 192.168.101.N ?
That's the only change I made. Seems harmless enough.
My guess is that all this is network related.
Are you home directories automounted? If not, try temporarily disabling
the automounter. Also, try not activating the network interface(s) at
boot or use a static IP. Oh, while you're in runlevel 1, check your
logs. (I guess that should be the first step.)
It's possible that your box was cracked, but nothing was noticable until
you rebooted.
