(solved) INIT: Id "x1" respawning too fast

After trying the GIMP module gimp-2.10.6+deps-x86_64-kde-lx-xfce-ob-stripped.xzm, on loading a very large image, my whole Porteus 4.0 64 OpenBox system was frozen, no keyboard even, so I had to restart the computer by long pressing PowerOff button.
Now every time I boot (with an additional fsck cheatcode at the boot screen) it gets stuck at
I press Enter, login to root, and run startx manually. And it seem to work. However I have a feeling that somerthing remains wrong with my system. How should I fix it and bring back to normal? (And does it mean I can't use GIMP?)
UPDATE: Booting now goes through. I had to boot into a different USB, and check the problem USB unmounted file systems for errors. No errors were found (?) but now the problem seems to go away. Maybe fsck cheatcode isn't capable of repairing a not properly shutdown filesystem. Also a question remains, how can possibly GIMP freeze a linux system!? Will have to look for a friendlier image software then.
