Thanks (again) Civ. I did not quite know about that option, and sure it
isn't there. I'll try it and also I'll check the memories.
As a slight update, I've seen that some people also had freezes with
KT133/SIS745 chipset, though with different kernels/versions... but it looks
that they're all networked. I wonder if it these freezes could be triggered
by some kind of PCI latency problem (KT133A chipsets sure have a problem
with this)?
Anyways that shoudn't be my case, bacause as said it was running smoothly...
the only thing I did was to re-run LILO in order to change the order of the
boot options - the hang-ups started shortly after that, but I can't see a
connection.
Saddest of all is that window$ seems to be running fine... :^(

Check to see if your memory is OK (memtest-x86.bin is in the /images
directoryt and can be dd'ed to a bootable floppy)
Double-check the boot to make sure mem=nopentium is in each and every
linux boot append line. (Yeah, a slight difference in mem paging
between K7s and Pentiums of all generations)
But if it has been OK for months it is more likely hardware--remove the
memory sticks and burnish the contacts with an eraser and blow the dust
out of the slots, too. Those sorts or hardware problems are the MOST
common.
