I'm having this problem too and none of the solutions above to increase
the gdm timeouts are working for me. In my case, about 80% of the time I
get the console login upon bootup. So much more serious. My brute force
work around was to add a little script that gets run at boot up after a
small delay to start gdm. If it's already started, the script doesn't
affect anything, but otherwise, at least GDM gets loaded:

1. sudo nano /etc/crontab

add this line to the end:

@reboot root    /root/gdmstart

2. sudo nano /root/gdmstart

with this contents:

#!/bin/bash
sleep 6
/usr/sbin/service gdm start

3. sudo chmod u+x /root/gdmstart
