id 'x' is from /etc/inittab and means that your server is trying to start a GUI when it boots - i.e you're coming up in runlevel 5. The GUI is failing to start so it tries again and fails, repeat until it disables it. Fix why your GUI won't start or change your default runlevel to 3 instead of 5.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.

And run "yum update" you have years of unattended exploits.
