   After messing with uncompatible memories my Ubuntu doesn't start GDM anymore   
   in the start-up. Boot stops in the "Checking file system" screen. "sudo   
   /etc/init.d/gdm restart" works, so GDM is not broken, i think. In the Gnome   
   terminal says "WARNING: terminal is not fully functional" so everything is not   
   ok.   
      
   What log tells where boot scrash? What happens between checking filesystems   
   and starting GDM? If problem is in filesystem checking, how can i fix it? I   
   have already tried "dosfsck -ar..." to fat32 partitions and it helps to "There   
   are differences between boot sector and its backup" warning.
