so here is what i do today:
i start acer_fancontrol on the virtual console 1 as root
start X on the virtual console 2.
to quit X (and then halt my acer laptop) i DO NOT DO the alt - backspace exit sequence (if I do, everything crashes and I have to shutdown my computer the bad way), I go to virtual console 1 (or 2, for that matter) and then do halt.
Some how, this has stopped the freezing. I think probably it had something to do with the video card (since I have intel, its not something nvidia-specific) and how the kernel deals with it. some atualization, not sure which, solved it. but still, X freezes if I dont do the exit I told you.
I am so sorry if this was a confusing post. Im kind of out of time.
]]>im having the same problem on a laptop with intel video card.
there is no apparent pattern. its weird.
im disabled the wireless card to see if there is any thing new, but i really think it has something to do with the video card.
hm.
thats it. just so you know there is one more with the problem. =]
But did you try adding the noapic to your grub menu?

My freezing seems to have stopped since I put noapic in the kernel startup parameters.
title Arch Linux
root (hd2,0)
kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sda1 ro noapic
initrd /kernel26.img
This is the solution. I haven't had a freeze every since I did this and it's been weeks (months?).

I haven't tried this yet, so I'll give it a shot and see. I guess if I never post in this thread again, it'll be a good thing.

I used to have the same problem. Disabling cpufreq solved it completely for me.
So sad, I don't use cpufreq - the module is not loaded. Your solution doesn't help me
]]>Probably not related to this, but could it be the preload bug??
I do not use preload.
