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 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). HTH, Conway S.
