Hi Sorry to do this and the timing just fell this way. The 7 year old HD on the box started giving signs of problems so I loaded Squeeze on a new HD and that bug is still there.
I have more info and haven't loaded anything over Squeeze (yet)
I booted into recovery mode and then tried to run startx which freezes things.
When I get back to a console the following text is displayed above the prompt
(I have omitted 3 or 4 lines shown by dots)

The above was transcribed by hand so may contain errors.
There will be more info in the logs etc which I may be able access by one of:-
use a cli bug reporting tool to harvest the data (I don't even know the name of
one) or
use a live CD to copy the logs etc to a USB or
figure out how to get GRUB to let me boot into the old install of Lenny on the
old hard drive and use it to harvest the info.
I've got a broken collar bone so a mouse enabled method would be fine.
An aside - Isn't GRUB supposed to set up the menu to boot the old install?
It can see it but doesn't set up the menu.
