Actually, just FYI, I've had this sort of thing happen in 2.1.42 as well.
Hard freezes, hard freezes with screens full of flashing colored garbage,
and spontaneous reboots were all frequent occurances.

Running on a Asus motherboard (VX chipset) with a P133, 512k cache, 32 MB
RAM, Trident 9680 video card, Adaptec 2940, and a Bay Networks 21140-based
PCI ethernet card. Config is as follows:
