Suggest:
Boot with an install CD/DVD in rescue
mode.
Mount your file system (this should happen
automagically)
edit /mnt/sysimage/etc/inittab
Set your default runlevel to 3 (currently it is set
to 5)
quit the rescue, and reboot your hard
drive.
Now you will have the shell available to debug what goes
wrong when you command 'startx'
hai i have run the halt command from the xshell and the machine got restarted, now when i restart the machine, i am getting this error . I have tried to press the CTRL+ALT+F2 and tried to login with the root user but that one is also not working.
