If anyone is having the problem I was having (7.2 would unexpectedly freeze, leaving no error messages and forcing a cold shutdown or having to pull the power cord), I would HEAVILY recommend the suggestion Darryl posted to solve the problem (changing the ext3 filesystems to ext2). Since doing so about a week ago, I have not had one crash (knock on wood)... Much thanks to Darryl.
