I have had similar hard freezing;Randomly, but about every two days, the system will lock hard. No messages in syslog or on console. The only way to recover the box is to hard boot it.
In my case my vendor and I have found
the culprit the combo of rh8.0 + kde (or gnome);
it often seems to be triggered just after the 4am cron thing.
My box is an old ppro200, being readied as a file server
so when it gets stable i wont be using X much on it all,
except of course for severe emergency, when i may need to bring X up.
The combo of old ppro bios and the graphics card tnt2 may also have
something to do with the xfreeze.
the only good thing about the xfreeze is i have had
plenty of opportunity to see the ext3 fs recover rapidly from hitting
the power switch.
wow, it still seems like magic!
In my case i have discovered using WindowMaker instead of Gnome or KDe
gets rid of the xfreeze.
if you want to try this, i set itup by:
[byers@linux sysconfig]$ cat desktop
DESKTOP="WINDOWMAKER"
[byers@linux sysconfig]$
