Hello. Yeah, I've got this happening, and I think it's something to do with cron or similar. I'm running a workstation and if I leave it on overnight, it is always locked up in the morning. But it also happens sometimes during the day, while I'm working on it, and the important thing I noticed is that when the desktop freezes, the clock always reads zero seconds - eg today it locked hard at 10:49:00. This suggests a scheduler (like cron) causing the problem. I'm not quite clear on why it should only affect the smp, though. I'm gonna try recompiling the kernel (minimising what I don't need) and see if that makes any difference. It might also be instructive to stop cron for 24 hours and see if the thing still hangs.
