Well, knock on wood. I've got the following in my lilo.conf:

# Start LILO global section
# Append any additional kernel parameters:
append=" vt.default_utf8=0 noapic"

.... the 'vt.default_utf8=0 was there already.

No freezes on this session so far. Not ready to mark this solved yet -- I'm still cautiously optimistic and have some more reading to do.

Thx to all for the help!!

Well, everything seems good now. I still haven't had the time to research any performance issues, but I haven't noticed anything untoward, either. Marking this 'solved' since I no longer seem to be having freezes! Thanks so much to all!

I'm just jealous that I never thought to name any of my machines "catbutt".

Sigh. Back to (seemingly) random freezes, so I brought this thread back from the dead. Obviously I don't know what I'm doing here.

Well, I'm no good at this kind of thing, but way back you said something about networkmanager. Try uninstalling that and using wicd for a while, then if that still allows the system to freeze, you know it isn't networking...pretty much.

If it is your X server that freezes, you can check that with "Alt + SysRq + r" and to go into raw mode. Then you can do "Ctrl + Alt + F2" to go to a console. Try to login and run "top" to see what is slowing the system. You can also run "Alt + SysRq + k" to kill all programs in the virtual console including the X server.

Also check the "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" for any hints there. Might be a module that freeze the X server.

Another thread that might give some input:

Are you running the stock slackware64-14.0 kernel?

If so, I believe that that particular version (3.2.29) had some issues with certain Intel chipsets which caused the exact symptoms you describe.

I had the same problem on my laptop. Upgrading to a newer kernel fixed it.
