I didn't know that.

Thanks for the link.

I tried the suggestions and ended up with:

$ cat /proc/interrupts
            CPU0
   0:     100423          XT-PIC  timer
   1:        121          XT-PIC  i8042
   2:          0          XT-PIC  cascade
   5:        455          XT-PIC  ohci_hcd:usb2
   7:          2          XT-PIC  parport0
   8:          4          XT-PIC  rtc
  10:        655          XT-PIC  uhci_hcd:usb1, ohci_hcd:usb3, eth0
  11:          2          XT-PIC  ehci_hcd:usb4
  12:        413          XT-PIC  EMU10K1
  14:     395118          XT-PIC  ide0
  15:       4406          XT-PIC  ide1
NMI:          0
LOC:          0
ERR:          0
MIS:          0

but can still reproduce the lockup in single user mode by running 
playmidi -a somefile.mid and then running a disk intensive program like 
mandb at the same time.

I also disabled IDE block mode in the BIOS.

I'll look a few hard disk settings in the meantime.
