Thanks. Anyway I waited the RAM bios test to finish, it seemed freezed
but it was busy just for 39 minutes. Yes, that's long.
The IBM online assistant told me that

So I guess the RAM bios test is completely exhaustive, hence I can exclude the
RAM defects from my crash-possible-reason list.

So now, my problem remains the boot freezing at the "Loading Keymap" module.
Anyone knows what may be wrong?

Thanks.
