Well, if you already have a 'pi and want to tinker with it then I can't see why you wouldn't try out PellMon also? I can absolutely understand that you like to keep using stokerkontrol and don't want to lose the history you already have there, but couldn't it be fun just to try it out anyway? A PellMon install will only cost you 10 minutes of your time copy-pasting the installation commands from the wiki, and uninstalls cleanly with a single command when you want to get rid of it ...
(Albert, if you have to reimage the sd-card to get your raspberry up and running again then you might have a bad power supply, a bad sd card or both. The raspberry is a bit 'famous' for having weak voltage regulation, and I have read claims that a below average quality power supply can cause sd card corruption. If it boots normally but only stokerkontrol won't work then that's of course not the case)
