There is some problem with your X Configuration. The problem can be temp. solved
by using the text mode. To do that:
1) In the lilo boot prompt type 
linux single
or whatever label you have to boot into GNU/Linux followed by 'single'.

2) You will be booted into single user mode. At the command prompt type 
vi /etc/inittab
You will see a line
id:5:initdefault:
Change it to
id:3:initdefault
Save and quit vi

3) At the command prompt type 
/sbin/telinit 3

You can now modify your X configuration, by using Xconfigurator program. Keep
your video card and monitor manuals handy. Be careful when fiddling around with
X you can damage your monitor!

Type in 

startx 

to get into X.
