That means atd started correctly. What is the next service it hangs on?

I went back and reviewed the thread, in an earlier message you wrote:

So is it possible your keys are not getting detected properly? I am not 
very familiar with laptop hardware. But something that you can do is, 
boot to runlevel 3. And check if things are working as expected.

To do this, follow my previous instructions (my msg from yesetrday) and 
instead of 1 use 3 as the kernel argument. This should take you to a 
text only login screen. Login as a regular user and for now you can 
start a gui with,

$ startx

If that works out, you can then figure out why things are not working 
out for the regular way of booting.

If you have trouble getting into runlevel 3, boot to runlevel 1 as 
before and post the output of the following:

# chkconfig --list

If the output is long, it would be preferable if you post it to some 
pastebin and post the link here.
