two questions about linux runlevel and Xwindows



Hello there,
I recently met two events that I dont know how to solve , please help!

1) trying to compile a new kernel the sistem wrot an error code:
init[1] no more processes left in this run level.
this message run over the screen endless times passing to other virtual 
terminals.
the only way was to cold boot the system.
my solution was to compile in single user mode but i dont think that 
kernel compilation must be done in this form.

2) the second problem is related to Xwindows.
there I see that the menu bars start loosing their text and appear as a 
white strip background with partial options(applications) text or not at all.
this phenonmenon happens or is strongly correlated with the use of xv.
again to continue working i must boot the system.
`
If some one met those events or knows why they happen please let me know

thanks 
Igal Chertkow
