Thanks Brian for the suggestion. I am using an old (4 years) Intel P4 2.4 GHz processor and Intel 915 series board and I believe my board does not have any such option in its BIOS. Regarding the stack I saw earlier, I build a new image with just "core" components and It got ahead of that point of problem. Earlier I was using "core, core-dev and X" and it used to crash while starting udev.
