the problem is that your self-compiled 2.4.26 kernel has no TLS support (the 
vanilla 2.4 series simply does not have it), whereas the RedHat kernels have it.

Remedy: remove or rename the directory /lib/tls - this will make X (and other 
stuff) work nicely. Also, keep in mind that whenever you update glibc you need 
to take care of /lib/tls .

In case you have a Nvidia card and use the NVIDIA driver, you must install it 
with --force-tls=classic

Basically, the problem is a FAQ on this list.
