Duh.
I figured out the problem. In 2.4.0-test13-pre3 is the introduction of the shmall sysctl. I had installed a package called powertweak a while back. It looks like powertweak sets any sysctl it doesn't know to 0.

So, the problem was that there was no shared memory for X. ;(
I set that up to a reasonable level and all is well.
sorry for the wild goose chase. :(

Could you check your /proc/sys/kernel/shmall value?
If 2.4 is really incompatible with powertweak, perhaps a warning should be added to the release notes.

yes, it was at 0. I echoed 8 millions into it, and now apache starts. I had no problem with X though.
And, yes, I do have powertweak installed.
It can be configured by editing /etc/powertweak.config directly, because powertweak-config looks like it is not finished yet (at least in Debian).
What is a reasonable value to put in there ?
