The box is very stable; even with 2.4.19-pre7-ac4 if I did not exit X. ah, one more detail, actually the OOPS happened when exiting X, not because of starting a new X server. The other strange thing with 2.4.19-pre7-ac4 is it can not turn off the computer if I run ` sudo halt` as a child process of icewm, If I start a new terminal and run sudo halt ; X goes down and if during that I press Alt + F1 the text screen appear and it can turn off. I think this problem related to the OOPS ; How it is possible? May be there is a change in the kernel setup, or memory allocation etc..?
