For those to slow to figure this out, the Kernel is the same in every dist
(SUSE, Mandrake, RedHat, Debian, etc, etc), the only thing that changes is the
version number and compile options. And the version number is just based on the
development cycle of that particular dist (I.E. Debian doesn't jump on the
latest kernel and push it out the door, they test it very well before they ship
a new version. They ship 2.1r2 with 2.0.36). My point is most dists all build
from the same core code base, they only differ in the details of their setup,
install, and option.
And...... If your system still boots but fails to startx what makes your think
it's the kernel? That's your X server crapping out, not the kernel.
