Is this Debian's standard kernel, or did you configure and compile it yourself? If yourself, did you include "Virtual memory filesystem support (former shm fs)"? Is that filesystem mounted? There should be a line in /etc/fstab like tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 to mount it at boot. If there isn't, try mount -o tmpfs tmpfs /dev/shm, which will work until you reboot. But you might want to consider putting that line in fstab even if you just temporarily try the mount, because I don't know if / will umount if there's something mounted at /dev/shm...

A G4L search didn't turn up anything, so I can't send you there... hmm...
