I think I may have identified the culprit (or at least another possibility). It sort-of froze this morning, but perhaps due to changes in the 2.4.13-7 kernel, did not completely freeze me out yet :). I switched to a vc and saw this message repeating every several seconds after trying to log

I read this on http://rpmfind.net and some other places via google.com searches (I was about to buy that motherboard and two Celerons a while ago, but decided not to). Calm down :-). The electrolytic capacitor thing seems interesting.. I wonder if that's what it is... Since I'm just a
