on the other hand, it might be nice to know what happens when you are "froze" what actions do you take to shut down? and what is the results of ctrl+alt+f2? or ctrl+alt+Backspace? might also be related to the IRQ, and maybe the irq for USB (since the default kernal in 8.0 handles USB a little less forgiving than in kernals after, and was not included (much) in kernals before 8.0. (really 2.4. vs 2.2.x). you may also be having a timeout freeze with a misconfigured service.
