Hmm... also, if you haven't done it -- type memtest86 at the bootprompt, 
to test your ram sticks.  Locking up is often (not always) a sign of bad 
ram.

NOTE: memtest86 takes forever to run...

NOTE^2: make sure to just type "memtest86" not "linux memtest86" I'm 
embarrassed to admit that was my faux paus the first time I tried to run 
memtest
