Do you use update/bdflush/whatever? I get lotsa lockups when hacking kernels
and X servers, but I've never had to run fsck more than twice (once
automatically and once manually).

You are using the 4.0a loader with 4.0b modules. Use the 4.0b loader.

I had a case where such a freeze hosed various things on my root and usr
partitions. That was during the XFree 4.0 PCI resources trouble hacking.
Is the machine in question one with Mach64 graphics?

No, it's an Amiga with Permedia2 and he used the wrong binary.
