[Gllug] Random freezes

[Jack Bertram]

My main home Linux box used to run reliably (unless I rebooted it, it
would run essentially without fault with max uptimes of over a year).
However, increasing filesystem corruption and failure of boot scripts
meant that I took the decision to replace it with a fresh install of
Ubuntu.  Since then, it has begun to intermittently freeze.  Sometimes
this is preceded by the root filesystem becoming readonly.  Nothing is
written to the syslog so I haven't the foggiest how to trace the error.
It's now running kernel 2.6.8 (ubuntu standard) whereas before I was on
2.4.20.

Any ideas how to chase this down?  The freezes (both console, X and
network) seem to happen randomly from a couple of days after reboot to 4
days after reboot.
