I also had such problems twice on my Sony VAIO PCGF-430, using
2.4.1-test10 + the ACPI patch "acpi-20010125.diff". In both cases, the
system locked up tight (X wasn't responding, and I was unable to switch to
a different virtual console), a cold boot was required, and there was
filesystem corruption that forced me to run fsck manually. Luckily, no
essential file was destroyed.
As the files involved were certainly not in the process of being updated
when the system locked up [in one case it involved man pages], I don't
believe the corruption was caused directly by the lockup. I include the
relevant part of the output from /sbin/lspci below.
I went back to 2.4.0, which works perfectly apart from the fact that
kacpid oopses on startup, and has not seen any corruption since. Please
let me know if there's any additional information that I can provide to
help track the problem down.
