The simple solution is probably to reboot. This general message used to come up with moderate frequency years ago on my Linux machine, and it meant that I'd run out of resources (usually tasks or file handles; sometimes memory, perhaps) . . . Not sure if the errno was 2, though: I thought that was one. In any case, to look up errnos, just do man errno 2 is "No such file or directory" . . . which probably means that you can ignore my first paragraph there . . . something isn't where it should be, but guessing what is missing is difficult. I would remove the xdm/kdm setup, however you did that (most common approch is to set the default run level form 3 to 5, so reverse it back to 3). Then you can start up the server by hand and you'll get much more helpful diagnostics where you can easily find them. In general, walking (line-mode, bring up X by hand a few times) before running is a good idea . . .
