Linux/Athena workstation Titanum in 8-419 is having errors at the end of
boot, keeping it from starting Xwindows, and proceeding to the login
console.

The boot process runs fine, until starting X, when it throws the
following errors, ad infinitum. 

dm: X failed to become ready
dm: X failed to become ready
dm: X failed to become ready
Unable to start X, doing console login instead. 
dm: X failed to become ready
dm: X failed to become ready
dm: X failed to become ready
Unable to start X, doing console login instead. 
dm: X failed to become ready
dm: X failed to become ready
dm: X failed to become ready


It never leaves this error state, nor goes to a console login.
