Hi All As I am also new to linux distros I find typing or cut n pasting the complete error from any OS in Google normally finds the answer.
http://www.unixguide.net/linux/faq/09.24.shtml http://www.unixguide.net/linux/faq/09.24.shtml "init: Id "x" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes." In most distributions this means that the system is booting by default into runlevel 5, which is supposed to respawn (re-start again after it's been exited) a graphical login via xdm, kdm, gdm, or whatever, and the system can't locate the program. However, "Id" can also indicate the absence or misconfiguration of another program, like mingetty, if init tries to respawn itself more than 10 times in 2 minutes. and here http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/gnome-problem-init-id-respawning-too-fast.html http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/gnome-problem-init-id-respawning-too-fast.html or here http://www.google.com/search?q=init%3A+Id+%22x%22+respawning+too+fast%3A+disabled+for+5+minutes%2C&sourceid=mozilla-search&start=0&start=0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=mozilla&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:unofficial http://www.google.com/search?q=init%3A+Id+%22x%22+respawning+too+fast%3A+disabled+for+5+minutes%2C&sourceid=mozilla-search&start=0&start=0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=mozilla&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:unofficial I am sure not an expert but it looks like either the OS that the VMare is running on or the VMware.

You will have to forgive me but I am a bit new with Linux, so I am not sure how I can get to that message log you are talking about at the system just repeats the error over and over and never goes any further. I have tried rebuilding from scratch 3 times with no luck. Going to build it on a physical workstation (once I get the resources in), but hoping to get it running on VMWare in the meant time.

What are your logs telling you? "Id 'x'" isn't exactly a lot to go on. Maybe if you look at the dmesg and messages log you'll see something occurring when that message pops up that will help narrow down what process is causing this. Also, what VMware product/version are you using? I've used Honeywall on Workstation 6.5 and ESXi 4.0. Brett D.
