[Gloucs] RedHat 8 won't boot!

Looks like by uninstalling Gnome you have either inadvertently removed part
of X or as you appear to be using a graphical login you may have upset that
process.  The respawn is the system trying to restart the failed X server.
Can you still login using a shell? If you can you should be able to replace
Gnome from there using the rmps from the installation disks.

Subject: [Gloucs] RedHat 8 won't boot!


Hi everyone,

I am fairly new to Linux, have been using RedHat 8.0 for two weeks now. I
tried to uninstall Gnome 
yesterday, and keep KDE. Now, whenever I try to boot up my system it comes
up with the message:

INIT: Id "x" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes

I have no idea what this means, can anyone help please? 

Thanks,
Joe
