I think this has been happening to me too. But everytime I reboot, the logs give me no evidence, and I don't know how to gather any useful evidence. My server just slowly hangs. Normally when it starts to hang, the video is the first to go. The TCP/IP functionality seems to be the last to go.Since upgrading to Kernel 2.6.11-1.14_FC3 my system:-

has been locking up every 3-5 days !!!
When it locks up the Gnome display is completely frozen and remote SSH inbound doesn't respond. /var/log/messages doesn't show any cause:-

The last two occurrences have been similar. memtest86 passes without problem on this system.
With 2.6.10-1.770_FC3 and previous 2.6.10 kernels the system stayed up and working for weeks on end. The other problem with 2.6.11-1.14_FC3 is the ntpd needs restarting 10-30 times before it runs continuously --Andy Gray Fedora Core 3 Also testing FC4test x86_64 on AMD 64 3400+ laptop
I experience a similar situation.
In addition this kernel panics on insert of my FAT32 formatted USB thumb drive quite unlike the prior.
On one of my systems the 2.6.11-1.14_FC3 hangs the system during boot.
No keyboard operation (Numlock light does not change state).
It is a solid failier and happens during int at the "Initializing hardware" stage just after Audio is displayed.
The sound chip used on this board is a "VIA Technologies, Inc. VT82C686 AC97".
There are no logs of this.
