Well, the gnome from unstable has nothing to do with it.
Although it is breaking so early, it's hard to guess what is.
The stock 2.4.19 also installed a /boot/config-2.4.19 file.
Compare that with your /usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.19/.config
Although, since you are using sarge, aren't the source for 2.4.20 available?
You'd probably be better off using the even numbered release.
