I do notice that when iptables is starting there is some message about time being off. But I can't catch it, it scrolls by too fast.
Do control-s and q work during boot?
When do those play in? cntl s and q seemed to do nothing. So what should ctrl-s and q do?
I was hoping control-s would stop the screen so you could read the iptables message. Seems to me I have done that before, but not recently. Maybe it no longer works.
What is prefdm?
prefdm is trying to launch a desktop manager, I think. Have you tried booting into text mode or single user? Adding a 3 to the end of the kernel line will put you in text mode, I think. If X is your problem, that would work around it.
