Yes, CONFIG_CGROUPS is needed atm, otherwise logind fails to create a session,
then libpam-systemd doesn't set the required env variables (particularly
XDG_SESSION_ID) and the greeter fails to run. (see bug #729674).
I am considering the following fix:
in /usr/share/gnome-shell/js/misc/loginManager.js, line 121, change:
if (haveSystemd())
with:
if (haveSystemd() && GLib.getenv('XDG_SESSION_ID'))
then boot with your custom kernel, gdm should fall back to consolekit and start
fine.
Let me know if that works.
