Ok, checked it out and dma is enabled as required. > ok.

I will try this, but I'm not sure how quickly I'll have an answer. The only time I reproducibly get the 'freezing' is when zooming in and out with large images in gv. This I can't do when X is not running. Otherwise, the freezing happens very sporadically, ie. a few times a week at most. I'll let you know if I can induce a text-only freeze. In the meantime, how does one check for bad blocks and bad ram? I have the pre-installed fsck running every 30th boot, and so far no errors have ever been reported. Thanks for your continued help!
