I have two machines for testing:
1) SMP box is dual PIII, SCSI, 1GB, RH 7.3 base distro, X not installed.
2) UP box is PIII, IDE, 256MB, LM 9.0 base distro, X and KDE 3.0.3.
The build failure and lockups were on the UP box.
The SMP box also ran 2.5.44-mm2 for several hours under load with no
failures. It was used to successfully build the UP 2.5.44-mm2 kernel.

Yep, that was weird. I'm only certain about the first hang when it did
not respond to pings.

Nope. My understanding is that is only applicable for SMP systems, but
I can add that to the lilo.conf append line if it would do any good on
this troublesome UP box.
