This bug also affected single-user mode. While it no longer occurs after the fix, the script for failsafe-x should be disabled when booting with kernel option single. It is otherwise extremely ironic that this so- called failsafe-x has the potential to (and in fact did) cause the real failsafe boot option to fail.
gdm and kdm currently check for this. A similar check should be added. Likewise, kdm's init config should get the similar patch, to avoid this problem from occurring in a possible future kdm-based failsafe X to complement the one that current depends on gdm. -- Since failsafe-x was enabled in karmic it starts if gdm is disabled and kdm is used.
