This was my response to a previous user with the same problem.

Subject: RE: 'Respawning too fast'
Below is good advice. I had the same thing happen to me but did not
want to re-install for many reasons.
My fix:
1) Mount each of the 3 installation CDs and search Fedora/RPMs directories
for XFree86*
2) rpm -i Xfree* (from each CD)
3) rpm -i xfs (the fonts)
When I did the steps 1 and 2 and rebooted I was able to get my
Xwindows back (Konsole). However ,the windows text was missing
(ie, request for "Username", "Password", etc.) I logged in blindly
and clicked on the "up2date" icon and though unable to read any text
was able to run "up2date" again blindly (literally a shot in the dark)
and it finished the install. Rebooted, and everything was fine !
Hope this helps.
Good Luck

This happens X crashes and tries to respawn (restart). This usually
indicates a corrupted or missing file(s).
I believe you will have to rerun up2date in init 3 or totally reload
clean if that doesn't work.
Wait for other advice!!
