I mailled before on this problem, but received no replies (!). anyways, a
recap of the problem is: When I leave my computer running and doing whatever,
if I come back to it after ~ 1 hour (any shorter lengths of time and the
freeze doesn't occur) and either move the mouse or type on the keyboard, the
entire system will freeze. I can tell that it hasn't frozen up to this point
as if I am in X, the clock is still ticking etc, or if I am in console mode,
and compiling somthing, then text is whizzing by, or HDD is active.

Now, I've done a further bit of investigation, and tried pinging the box
instead of keyboard/mouse input, and the ping will cause the box to freeze
also.

Note that this freeze happens _no matter what_ is running. The result is the
same in console mode, as well as X, with modules loaded, or without any
modules loaded.

Whilst under 2.4.x, this problem never manifested itself.

My system consists of the following:

PII 450MHz CPU
Intel 440BX MoBo
WinTV PCI card
Nvidia GeForce 2 AGP card (moduled driver)
Ens1371 PCI audio card
Promise PCI IDE controller
Linksys Wireless USB adapter (moduled driver)
