Ok guys, here's the deal: Not only GDM is not starting but also TTY1-TTY7 are being terminated, and that before GDM is attempted to be started. Of course GDM cannot start if there is no TTY available. Further this problem occurs only with kernel 2.6.31-14 kernel 2.6.28-15 boots perfectly!
Btw. this problem does not occur on our 8 Fujitsu Siemens Workstations but only on HP Workstations...
