Yes I'm getting very similar hangs. I've been unable to locate
the problem exactly but I noticed they started happening while
using the nvidia graphics card driver (new video card) so I was
blaming that although the video itself wasn't hanging so it
didn't make sense to blame that (coincidence?). I've had a
serious reiser filesystem corruption during cooker as well
which fortunately I could sort out. These hangs still occur
though and almost always seem to be related to upgrading RPMS
on my machine, whether it's from kpackage, rpmdrake or at a
real console.
