Try booting linux in single user mode. This starts up with the bare
minimum of stuff running (ie it doesn't get to runlevel 2). From here
you can check the syslog to find out what's causing the problem or
disable possible culprits (I'd guess at whatever starts up after Samba).
To boot into single user mode type 'linux single' at the lilo prompt (if
thats what your using) or the debian install disk can be used to rescue
the system. I can't remember the syntax for the rescue disk but it does
explain in the messages that appear on screen (there was also an email
today which explained how to do this but I've deleted it already :-( ).
NB When in single user mode only the root partition is mounted, so you
won't have access to the full file system or network etc...
