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

Hi guys,
I'm having a problem with the Linux Server here (again). Once the Server started Its giving this message in the screen and nothing else here in after. I went through some documentations, forums to find out the problem but didn't get a chance to get through it.

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

From forums what I can find is, its a bad configuration on Video card interface. How ever I can log into the server in text mode. What should I do to fix this.
Server : Fedora 8 on Dell power edge SC440

Please someone (mod) change the thread title with this.

Hi ajaxrand,

Have you made any changes to inittab recently? To change runlevels or anything of the sort?

These two pages should give you a good summary of what is likely causing this error:

Hi Motoma,
Sorry for the late reply. Since I was in a hurry to fix it up, I just reinstalled fedora. (Before your post ) Anyway Thanks, Now I know the reason. (I think so).
