Unpatching optimize-profile-path-slightly.patchsolved the issue. Thanks for the tip. You also gave the tip that I should compile without -fomit-frame-pointer. I've done this for years without any problem. What problems could this cause ?

Thanks again for your help,

Stef

I'm trying to get kernel-2.6.9-rc4-mm1 to work with gnome-2.8. While
2.6.9-rc4 works fine with gnome-2.8 the mm1 version has an issue. Any
process that I'm trying to start that uses gnome libraries crashes
immediatly after startup. Mozilla, nautilus and gnome terminal to name a
few. The reason for using mm1 is that I'm using reiser4 for one of my
partitions.

The output that I get in bugbuddy is as following:

Backtrace was generated from '/usr/test/garnome2/lib/nautilus'

<snip>


This was useless, w/o any information.
Next time please compile with debugging (-g) and without
-fomit-frame-pointer. (in case of gcc <3.5)



And on the terminal that I started X windows:

"/usr/test/garnome2/lib/nautilus": not in executable format: Is a directory
/home/stef/405: No such file or directory.

Looks like you need to back out this patch, the root of all evil:
http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.9-rc4/2.6.9-rc4-mm1/broken-out/optimize-profile-path-slightly.patch
like this:
cd linux-2.6.9-rc4-mm1
patch -p1 -R < /download-dir/optimize-profile-path-slightly.patch
