I recompiled the kernel WITHOUT SMP. I had to run         dpkg 
--configure -a

I tried dselect afterwards and it ran fine. I'll test it further this 
afternoon.

Some strange things:
-The crash only happened using apt. I recompiled the kernel while 
running the 'faulty' kernel, but it compiled flawless.  What could be 
the relation between apt and the crash. I haven't seen  another thing 
crashing.
- Allthough I only have 1 CPU, under SMP I had 2 CPU's. Maybe it's my 
lack og knowledge.
    --snip dmesg SMP--
Brought up 2 CPUs
CPU0:
 domain 0: span 03
  groups: 01 02
CPU1:
 domain 0: span 03
  groups: 02 01
--snip--

If I have more data, I'll send it.
Is there something like an endurance test that really tests system 
stability?
