It finally turned out that using the agpgart module with my notebook makes
my machine crash and reset. Here's the last oops :

Hehehe you think this error is specific to agpgart? I've seen very
similar traces from SMP. Even sent these specific tracebacks here,
offered to help track down the problem, got 0 help. This problem
has been around since at least 2.4.2.
Good luck.

No, I don't think so. IMHO, it seems a VM problem which badly interact
with the agpgart or at least doesn't work well with agpgart.
