If I am not mistaken, your inittab is modified from within the initramfs early during boot time. Adding 'noautologin' to the kernel parameters should stop that. You would the have to modify the line for tty1 by hand if you still want autologin. The error message from startx happens because 5 insta

Issue with live-config

Hi! Right now, it looks like the boot-init.sh never runs when booting from live media. The issue is in line 14 of boot-init.sh (the version in git): The recentaddition of the 'if' essentially reverses the condition, so that if /proc/cmdline contains "boot=live", the script will exit immediately.
