What type of video card do you have? If you have a nvidia card & use
nvidia's drivers, you will need to reinstall the driver module after
compiling a new kernel version. Also, is it just gnome that won't
start, or X? In the case I'm describing, X won't start at all.
If you do have a nvidia card, and want to install their drivers, note
that nvidia has not yet released a 2.6 compatible driver. However, the
website <http://www.minion.de/nvidia.html> has unofficial patches for
use with 2.6 kernels. I've been using them since 2.6.0-test9 without
any problem. Also, now that 2.6.0 has been officially released, nvidia
should be releasing a compatible driver soon (I would guess).
