Throws much doubt on the hardware theory, I guess.

me2. Only, mine is all-scsi. BL FlashPoint--BT932, on an Asus P5A with a K6-350, not OCed, and 64M RAM. Seagate 4.3G SCSI HD, Panasonic 24x CD, JVC XR-W2010 CDR. SiS 6326-based AGP card w/8M RAM on it. Walked into my office this morning, and it was locked up tight. Magic keys and all--nothing doing. No messages in the logs, nothing to indicate why it locked up. This is a fairly common occurence with the 2.2.x kernels, as evidenced by the numerous messages in the archives. It also seems to happen over a wide range of hardware and under differing loads. I know mine must have happened at or before 4:00am, though, because the locatedb didn't get updated this morning. The ctime on it was for yesterday morning at 4:00. Unless it could crash in the middle of updating w/o changing the ctime...
Another problem is that the crashes are random, apparently. So, we have random crashes which happen for no apparent reason. I haven't had one in a while, though. THis is my first with 2.2.12, actually...
One thing that occurs to me--at what vga level do those who are crashing start Linux? I generally start mine in fb mode 0317, and run X of course, which might possibly cause a problem. Shouldn't, though, I don't think. Other commonalities? THere's gotta be something similar between all these crashes!
