I'm sorry I can't help with your CWSOD, but as to the X login, this is happening because you're running an X session manager. The four most common ones are xdm, gdm (Gnome's), wdm, and kdm (KDE's). You can do a "ps ax | grep dm" and look in the output of that command for one of these names. Then you can either uninstall that package (like "apt-get remove kdm") or just stop it for now (like "/etc/init.d/gdm stop"), or temporarily disable it by putting "exit 0" as the first executable line of whichever applicable ?dm script is in /etc/init.d.
