Since upgrading to Kernel 2.6.11-1.14_FC3 my system:-

AMD XP2200+ 512MB ASUS A7V8X

has been locking up every 3-5 days !!!

When it locks up the Gnome display is completely frozen and remote SSH
inbound doesn't respond. /var/log/messages doesn't show any cause:-

May  2 01:55:01 ldesk crond(pam_unix)[31676]: session closed for user

May  2 01:55:01 ldesk gconfd (andrewg-17471): Exiting

May  2 10:12:24 ldesk syslog: syslogd startup succeeded
May  2 10:12:24 ldesk kernel: klogd 1.4.1, log source = /proc/kmsg
started.
May  2 10:12:24 ldesk kernel: Linux version 2.6.11-1.14_FC3
(bhcompile at bugs.build.redhat.com) (gcc version 3.4.3 20050227 (Red Hat
3.4.3-22)) #1 Thu Apr 7 19:23:49 EDT 2005

The last two occurrences have been similar. 
memtest86 passes without problem on this system.


With 2.6.10-1.770_FC3 and previous 2.6.10 kernels the system stayed up
and working for weeks on end. 

The other problem with 2.6.11-1.14_FC3 is the ntpd needs restarting
10-30 times before it runs continuously
