I'm running an Xserve at a colo with OS X Server 10.4.3, and for

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. :-)

On top of that I would ask why you need a console login for most stuff
anyway. If you do really need it I hope you are tunneling that VNC
connection. :)
