Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.6 boot problem

Latest response

Hi

I have recently updated my Red Hat Enterprise Linux system through the Red Hat Network, and today I was trying to reboot my system, but the booting process somehow hanged at the following screen:

...
Starting sshd: [OK]
Starting ntpd: [OK]
Starting postfix: [OK]
Starting crond: [OK]
Starting atd: [OK]
Starting Red Hat Network Darmon: [OK]

Then it just hanged here and cannot enter into the usual GUI login in screen. However, I can log into the same computer from my laptop through ssh at this stage.

I also found the following information from /var/log/Xorg.0.log:

Can you tell me what could be wrong with my system?

Many thanks!
