Thank you Jonathan.

I worked.

I rather compiled the kernel, my machine crashed twice.  No serious
problems arose.  The curious thing was that I had to replace my old memory
bank by a new one.  I think that the old memory and the new one were not
friends or something and they could not work together.  None of the memory
banks were defective, it just happened that the old one and the new ones
could not work together.  Strange, isn't it?
