Hello, remi75!
I tried it with 3 different kernels: the Debian Kernel, the Zen Kernel, and the Grml Kernel. The output of "sysctl -a | grep vm. | sort" is from the Debian Kernel. The Zen Kernel sets swappiness to 0, but the Debian sets it to 60, so... and the Grml is similar to the Debian one.
I'd like to try, but don't know how to use other compiler. I'm compiling from Debian sources, so it is just "debuild -k$GPGKEY", and it calls the compiler probably from debian/rules.
If it is a faulty driver, how could I debug it (without freezing again the system and killing it)?
I don't think the problem is in the sources. I have compiled the Debian kernel a few months ago and hadn't noticed anything wrong.
I suspect of some problem in my partitions? Though when I succeeded in compiling the kernel, I had no swap at all (already tried "swapoff -a", and it just started killing many procs...)
Thanks for your help!

wrap-and-sort
WRAP-AND-SORT(1) General Commands Manual WRAP-AND-SORT(1)
NAME
wrap-and-sort - wrap long lines and sort items in Debian packaging files
SYNOPSIS
wrap-and-sort [options]
DESCRIPTION
wrap-and-sort wraps the package lists in Debian control files. By default the lists will only split into multiple lines if the entries are
longer than 80 characters. wrap-and-sort sorts the package lists in Debian control files and all .install files. Beside that wrap-and-sort
removes trailing spaces in these files.
This script should be run in the root of a Debian package tree. It searches for control, control.in, copyright, copyright.in, install, and
*.install in the debian directory.
OPTIONS
-h, --help
Show this help message and exit.
-a, --wrap-always
Wrap all package lists in the Debian control file even if the entries are shorter than 80 characters and could fit in one line line.
-s, --short-indent
Only indent wrapped lines by one space (default is in-line with the field name).
-b, --sort-binary-packages
Sort binary package paragraphs by name.
-k, --keep-first
When sorting binary package paragraphs, leave the first one at the top. Unqualified debhelper(7) configuration files are applied to
the first package.
-n, --no-cleanup
Do not remove trailing whitespaces.
-d path, --debian-directory=path
Location of the debian directory (default: ./debian).
-f file, --file=file
Wrap and sort only the specified file. You can specify this parameter multiple times. All supported files will be processed if no
files are specified.
-v, --verbose
Print all files that are touched.
