When I start the system, the process stops at the command line. The last thing I see on the boot-up list (don't know what I should call it) is "* Checking battery state  [OK]" and then I'm at the command prompt. Nothing unusual happend during the installation. This has happend a couple of times before (at previous installations in different machines), but at those times the system booted to GNOME after first restart (sudo shutdown -h now).

Sounds like you did a custom install instead of the default desktop install.
