I had asimilar problem when I installed champion 1.0. Removing linuxconf fixed
the startup errors regarding portmap, but gnome still does not startup. In fact
the machine locks up with the following errors in /var/log/messages:

I don't use gnome, but I'd still like to have it availiable to other users. Any
help is appreciated.
