As you suspected, it looks like a kernel problem. I loaded a different distribution on the laptop (Fedora 9) to see if I could get a different behavior. No such luck, of course - being a kernel problem, the software is pretty much the same. But I did notice that I could get the laptop to freeze by plugging in a USB drive, one with an IDE disk, and copying several GBytes to it. Also tried an sha1sum on a partial file (an incomplete .iso I tried copying to the drive). This caused a freeze also. After rebooting (several times to verify the problem), I left the USB drive unplugged and plugged in a USB memory stick (1.0 GBytes). I copied several large files to it - and it caused the system to freeze as well.
So It's not the Wacom. It's the kernel. Should I report this somewhere?
