I was in as my normal self, in X, opened up an xterm window and su'ed so I could change something in my lilo.conf. Everything went fine until i logged out of X, it said roughly " Id 1 respawning to quickly - terminal disabled for 5 minutes." I saw this and couldn't understand how id 1 (root) could be respawning to quickly, but then I thought I forgot to logout of the xterm and that might have caused it. So I switched to term 2 and tried logging in as root, worked fine. I then proceeded to term 3 and logged in as myself, everything was fine, but term 1 was still showing that message. Going back to term 2 ( root user ) and tried to start X, but it just sat there so I ^C it. Now, I could still function as root for about 2 more minutes but then the same message popped up, and I wasn't even doing anything. So, I went back to term 3, logged out, went in as root and restarted. I haven't had it happen since but I was wondering what could cause that??
