I can confirm that the system locks up reliably without the Nvidia
driver. This time I was doing a "mke2fs /dev/hda9" to create a
1Gb junk partition for testing this very problem :-) The system
died when it reached the "Writing superblocks...:" stage.

Back to 2.4.6 at the moment.

All the best, Pete.
