Hi Derek, I really wonder if your system truly *is* locked up or if a proc has just locked and refuses to let go. Had a guy convinced his box was locking at boot after he installed a nic - was resetting it etc.. I asked him to just let it sit and amazingly, after 2 minutes, it let loose and we found we had a simple domain problem that held up the boot for 2 minutes.
Just for kicks, why don't you dis-able the arts sound. Open the control center, click on sound, then click on sound server - here uncheck the "start arts sound server" on the general tab and see what you get next time you start kde.
