“INIT:Id "x" respawning too fast,disabled for 5 minutes”问题之解决思路
CentOS5，启动过程中出现以下问题：
INIT:Id "x" respawning too fast,disabled for 5 minutes
图形界面无法启动。
首先根据错误信息知道是init程序在执行#!/bin/shPATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin# shut down any graphical boot that might existif [ -x /usr/bin/rhgb-client ]; then /usr/bin/rhgb-client --quitfi# We need to source this so that the login screens get translated[ -f /etc/sysconfig/i18n ] && . /etc/sysconfig/i18n# Run preferred X display managerpreferred=if [ -f /etc/sysconfig/desktop ]; then. /etc/sysconfig/desktopif [ "$DISPLAYMANAGER" = GNOME ]; thenpreferred=/usr/sbin/gdmelif [ "$DISPLAYMANAGER" = KDE ]; thenpreferred=/usr/bin/kdmelif [ "$DISPLAYMANAGER" = XDM ]; then preferred=/usr/bin/xdm elif [ -n "$DISPLAYMANAGER" ]; thenpreferred=$DISPLAYMANAGERfifishopt -s execfail[ -n "$preferred" ] && exec $preferred "$@" >/dev/null 2>&1 </dev/null# Fallbacks, in orderexec gdm "$@" >/dev/null 2>&1 </dev/nullexec kdm "$@" >/dev/null 2>&1 </dev/nullexec xdm "$@" >/dev/null 2>&1 </dev/null# catch all exit errorexit 1从文件内容可知：首先检测界面显示管理器的配置，由于我只安装了GNOME，所以会去运行/usr/sbin/gdm程序那么这个程序是什么东东呢？3、[root@localhost ~]# yum whatprovides /usr/sbin/gdm（要保证已经联网）?? Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, protectbase
?? Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
??? * base: centos.ustc.edu.cn
??? * extras: centoso4.centos.org
??? * rpmforge: apt.sw.be
??? * updates: centos.ustc.edu.cn
?? 47 packages excluded due to repository protections
?? 1:gdm-2.16.0-56.el5.centos.i386 : GNOME 显示管理器。
?? Repo??????? : base

?? 1:gdm-2.16.0-56.el5.centos.i386 : GNOME 显示管理器。
??Repo??????? : installed
??Matched from:
??Other?????? : Provides-match: /usr/sbin/gdm
可以看出这就是GNOME的显示管理器，这就说明我没安装GNOME管理器了！4、[root@localhost ~]# ll /usr/sbin/gdm运行结果显示果然没安装，OK！安装吧！5、[root@localhost ~]# yum install gdm -y
重启系统，搞定over！
