This could be a number of things (some unrelated to GDM).  You may
want to open a support ticket with Oracle and get help that way.

The first thing I'd check, though, is /etc/inittab.  It should say
"id:5:initdefault:" and not "id:3:initdefault:"

It could also be a problem with X starting.  /var/log/Xorg.0.log may
give a hint.
