gdm is the Gnome gui interface for logins much like kdm for kde or the basic xdm for standard X11.

What I don't understand is, are you able to log in, or does the machine halt?

Which Linux is it? I would (generically) say, boot to single-user mode and enter root's PW. You should be able to edit any improper config files from the CLI.
