won't boot is not much info to go on. It is kinda like saying my puter is broke.
What do you get? Does grub load?? If grub loads where does the boot hang?
What do you see on the screen? any error messages?? How far does the boot process
get? Neither KDE or gnome will keep the machine from booting. They might keep
X from starting but by the time X starts the machine is up and running.
