I'm running an Xserve at a colo with OS X Server 10.4.3, and for some crazy reason, I can no longer VNC into my box, instead I just get a big blue empty screen. And yet, all services appear to be running normally, SA works, WM works. Any ideas why I can't get past the blue screen? It's like it's hanging up on the login window.

Can you SSH in? Look for loginwindow processes and kill them ('sudo killall loginwindow' should do it). This will force-end any GUI user sessions, returning to the login screen. If the login screen is supposed to be there, it should kill the process and respawn after a few seconds. I don't have stuck system to test with, but it worked fine on a normal one. :-)
