Given that I was able to fix the problem by turning off the video acceleration, I suspect that the NVidia driver is conflicting with the kernel's memory management. (Which fits the message he found about not being able to page correctly...) > > // George Well I would say it's a different problem, and I'll explain why: I've also had some lock-ups which were X-related before ( specially with 1512 drivers; since 2313/14 came out it became very rare); while for a non-network system it really looks like a complete lock-up, if you're on a network it's easy to telnet in and see that's X is the only thing that hangs. Besides, these X-related lockups seemed to happen after some graphic intensive task; these freezes I got lately were completely random (in fact they NEVER did occur during/after a graphic intensive task). Since it's quite hard to completely dismiss any alternative, it might be indeed that Nvidia drivers have something to do with it. Unfortunately disabling acceleration is not something viable to me. Also note that the A7V and A7V133 have different south bridges, they are not quite as identical as they look like. :^) Wooky/Jeferson L.Zacco -- -- shinjiteiru shinjirareru, korekara aruku kono michi wo! kimi ga iru yo, boku ga iru yo sore ijou nani mo iranai. umareta imi ,sagasu yori mo ima ikiteru koto kanjite, kotae yori mo, daiji na mono hitotsu hitotsu mitsuketeiku...
