end of it all, it keeps asking me to log in.  Is there anyway to fix this
without completely reinstaling? 

Boots just fine.  Some of the post-install may not have been completed, 
you'll have to go into /etc/sysconfig and make it match your config.

The login prompt is totally normal.  login as 'root', no password, and 
use 'adduser' to make an account for yourself, then use that and 'su' 
from here on out.  (You'll have to add your new account to group 'wheel' 
and 'operator', you can do that from adduser)
