   Didn't check the patch, but went straight for 2.4.5-ac20... No hangs,
   and better performance than before.

Andrew,

   Thanks for your suggestions.. I'll try the noapic boot tonight, see
   if that makes any difference. The patches will have to wait till
   the weekend...

System: Abit BP6, Dual Celeron, Ne2k-pci, usb ohci and
scanner; 128 Mb Ram, Nvidia TNT2 graphics. Kernel 2.4.5

After scanning a couple of images (scanner is a Mustek 1200cu)
using Xsane, the system simply hangs. All network connectivity
dies, and the system basically stops responding. I can switch
consoles, and maybe log in[1], but that's basically it.

Debugging this is a bit beyond me, but it is fairly
reproducible, so let me know what I need to do to provide
useful information (The system is not critical, though I'd
prefer not to break it)

Sorry, no logs..

I've been doing a lot of abstract painting lately, extremely
abstract. No brush, no paint, no canvas, I just think about it.
