I have had a number of freezes, during a rm -rf  and a find at the same
time, during a cvs checkout, during a fsck on reboot.  The fsck caused a
message about an "SCB Timeout" I think.  I have returned to slightly
older 4.0-Current kernel and was going to build a new kernel.

I can try to get more information this evening, if anybody is interested.
For me the trigger seems to be heavy disk activity.

configuration summary:
K6-2 333, 80MB, aha2940(I think, adaptec PCI ultra), 4 2GB segate SCSI
drives.
