I have had the same problem on an AMD box running FC4. When does the box
freeze? At startup? shutdown? Using an app? Is it a dual boot?
In my case, the problem occurred at shutdown and was solved by upgrading to
FC5 and ensuring that the /etc/fstab knew about the WinXP partitions on the
other disk. This box is frequently used and switched to the other OS.
