I can only offer general advice because no, I don't
have any ideas:
1. Start Emacs with 'emacs -Q'. Does it work?
2. Don't start Emacs with -Q. Instead start it
regularly and hit `C-h k' and then hit M-< and M->
to see what the keys are bound to. Is it
`beginning-of-buffer' and `end-of-buffer'? And, do
`C-h f beginning-of-buffer RET' and `C-h
f end-of-buffer RET' and see if M-< and M-> show
up. If anything isn't as expected, what mode and/or
buffer are you in? Did you configure that
particular situation? Or did you load
anything unorthodox?
By the way, I since long abandoned M-< and M-> for
`C-o i' and `C-o j'. Better located and more intuitive
for us Lode Runners (`i' is above `j', compared to `<'
and `>' which only make sense with respect to the
chars, and not what position they have on the keyboard
- it is the same position, actually).
