It's not a kernel problem -- there's something broken in your X Windows configuration. xdm (or kdm or gdm) keeps trying to start and fails, and init is restarting it, and it fails...
Take a look in your X logs (I run Debian and mine are in /var/log/XFree86.log.0 -- yours may be somewhere else) for the cause of X not starting.
Hope this helps, Hugo.
