KDE 3.1.3 vs. kernel 2.4.22

Hi,

I have a Dell laptop running Redhat 9.0 with updated KDE 3.1.3 using binary.

Currently, I have upgraded the kernel to 2.4.22 and I got an error when trying to start kde:
"Could not start kdeinit. Check your installation"

Anyone has the same problem as mine ? X windows works fine with the new kernel if I am using GNOME 2.2

Thanks,
DHN

Upgrading your kernel breaks KDE? Strange.
Are you sure this is the only thing you changed?
I'd try to get more information. There is normally a log file for the
error messages of all X applications.
~/.xsession-errors is quite common.

Disclaimer: I don't know redhat.

Yes, I upgraded only the kernel to 2.4.22. Actually, I can switch back to old Redhat kernel (2.4.20-

and KDE working fine.

I know that after the message box which state that kdestart failed, it back to console, which I saw some messages about can't start thread, and kernel is too old.
