Probably some of the OpenGL screeensavers are causing the crash.
For immediate relief, set a single screensaver (don't let xscreensaver

During the first boot it asked me to configure some more things. One
of these things are the date and time settings. I've choosed not to

I have successfully build RH 8.0's kernel-2.4.18-14. I assume by "custom"

that you've started to make "custom" modules. If you've started making
custom modules, well, YMMV! :)
I installed an re-built the kernel just fine.

Eaaa in my previous post. Fixed below...
3. Ok, let's assume you want to build pretty much what RedHat shipped with.
In my case that's the i686 uni-processor build. So here goes...
cd /usr/src/linux-2.4.18-14custom
# edit Makefile to set EXTRAVERSION to what you really want.
This finally did solve my problem. I turned off the screen saver
entirely and now have blessed stability. Think I'll try turning DRI back
