I have not tried this yet, because I have no idea where to put the line.

Yes I tried googling the error, and google came up with nothing on the 
exact error and as I shortened the error message I could still not find 
anything that seemed relevent.  As for what I have tried to fix the 
problem.  I have not tried anything yet since I have no idea what to try.

It could be that this error is no the problem but it is the only error I 
can find in dmesg, currently the screen on the xbox will flash a few 
times, display the error message and then go black and flash a few more 
times.  I am able to ssh in to the box, but I am unable to find any 
other error messages that would explain why it seems that X is not starting.
