If you installed gdm, then do
That will start the gdm login manager when your system boots and you can choose gnome as your default session.Code:#update-rc.d -n gdm defaults

Yes, nothing will happen. When you reboot though, gdm will start (and it will do so each time you start your Debian system). If you want it to start immediately without a reboot, then do
Code:#/etc/init.d/gdm start

The kernel doesn't really matter in this instance. What we need to know is whether you have GDM (and GNOME) installed on your system.
