The message tells you that X wants to create a socket, and fails. It fails because cramfs is a readonly filesystem. On my desktop: # lsof -U | grep XFree86 | head -1 XFree86 508 root 1u unix 0xdfa7e800 453 /tmp/.X11-unix/X0 # ls -l /tmp/.X11-unix/ total 0 srwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Apr 17 22:25 X0= # So, you need a writeable fs for /tmp if you want to run X.
