I've had very similar problems. I use WindowMaker and sometimes when I click on a title bar and begin to move a window the whole computer will lock up. Lock up prevents Stop-A, ping, etc. I using kernel 2.2.0-pre5. The speed increase is incredible, however the lock ups are a pain. If there is some information you need just let me know. I will help if I can. Oh yeah, I have an Ultra2 w/Creator 3D. -- Ryan
