Booting ISO Cinnamon 3.2.1 64-bit with grub2. Got the following error msg:
Code: Select all
INIT: Id "x1" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes.
I wait a few minutes then press Enter and it continued but I had to manually signon and start startx. Anyway to prevent this from happening? I don't have the problem booting the ISO with grub4dos.

./ .ICE-unix/ .X11-unix/ google-chrome/
../ .X0-lock .esd-1000/ pulse-PKdhtXMmr18n/

Code: Select all
guest@porteus:~$ ls --help
Usage: /bin/ls [OPTION]... [FILE]...
List information about the FILEs (the current directory by default).
Sort entries alphabetically if none of -cftuvSUX nor --sort is specified.
Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.
-a, --all do not ignore entries starting with .
Interesting.
But the original error referenced "x1" not "X0".
-update-
No "x1" here either.
Code: Select all

Hi Ed_P,
The Id x1 comes from the /etc/inittab file used by init when switching to runlevel 4 (X and the GUI).
# Default runlevel. (Do not set to 0 or 6)
id:4:initdefault:
...
# Runlevel 4 also starts /etc/rc.d/rc.4 to run a display manager for X.
# Display managers are preferred in this order: gdm, kdm, xdm
x1:4:respawn:/etc/rc.d/rc.4

Thanks
jssouza for the explanation.
Fortunately the error appears to be a one time thing.

I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure I pressed the Enter key before the 5 minutes were up and the booting continued.
