[Gllug] Red Hat 7.2 kernel update 2.4.9-21 lockups?

Runs fine under the stock 2.4.7 kernel that originally ships with Red
Hat 7.2.  I'll have a custom and optimised build of 2.4.17 running
tomorrow (out of the office today rummaging around Redbus) and we'll see
how stable it is under that.

Regards,

	Martyn

Could it not be the new X files as I noticed that these were released to
up2date recently.

Cheers
