I'm inclined to blame it on RH 7.2 itself; I've seen the same random lockups all the time since I installed RH 7.2, and that sadly includes times I'm sitting on console in bash with no X running. Literally doing nothing but trying to tab-complete. So... I've got no clue, but because I've seen it happen more than a couple time while on console without X running, I really can't blame it on gnome or any packages thereof. Luis
