I was away for a few days Florian!
Great ideas!
The one that works was acpi=off. Once I added that in, I no longer had

lsmod | egrep 'drm|agp|rhine'

before the network crash

and now when I startx after booting with acpi=off
this is the tail of dmesg after I startx. Notice there is no kernel
crash  of 

[drm] Initialized drm 1.1.0 20060810
[drm] Initialized via 2.11.1 20070202 on minor 0
agpgart: Found an AGP 3.5 compliant device at 0000:00:00.0.

notice no report bad irq crash from the kernel!

OK. So  now what do I do next? I notice that the laptop is very very
hot in running. it is an averatec 3250HX-01.

what do i do next, Florian?

Thank you very much Florian! (

and  thanks Douglas as well. I dont know
how to startx with rxvt. Could you explain that? do you mean
saying startx rxvt?)
