Well - when my box locked up I was also doing a 300MB scp through my ipw2200 wireless interface. But I did another today and nothing bad happened. In another email someone mentioned /var/log/messages - no, that was totally void of anything peculiar, despite the fact that I rebooted via Alt-SysRq T / P / S / U / B (this last did reboot the box). Upon restart however no, nothing in /var/log/messages. Didn't think it was the case to set up netconsole - only one occurrence AND with VMWare modules loaded... I will apply the above fix and will post again in case the hang issue pops up again.
