I rebuilt my kernel without cpufreq, and still it freezes.

I enabled xmon, but it didn't enter xmon.
While frozen, command-power has no effect.

I have tried to get my laptop crashing in console mode, but I have not
succeeded.
(Did a 16 hours stress test, with an average load of 28, heavy reads from hard
drive, running out of memory, swapping, net overload, several suspends to
ram : it didn't freeze)
I will keep on trying to crash it in console mode.
