Problem during start up. Command line

Hello guys. I am having a strange issue. During start up, instead of showing me the welcome screen of KDE to put my pass and log in etc etc, it shows me the command line.
To make things work i have to log in as root and do a reboot. Then it works normal and shows me the KDE log screen.

The problem doesn't come up when i am just restarting computer. Or when i shut it down, and open it again immediately.

Re: Problem during start up. Command line

Did you change your runlevel to 5 in inittab? Or are you starting kdm as a daemon?

# /etc/inittab

#  Runlevels:
#    0    Halt
#    1(S)       Single-user
#    2    Not used
#    3    Multi-user
#    4    Not used
#    5    X11
#    6    Reboot
