Eric, I thought your message was a duplicate of mine (I just sent a couple
days ago)! That's how similar my problem is.
I'm also getting the freeze during bootup, in INIT, so I don't think it's
solely KDE. Likewise, I have used RedHat in the past, with no problems, so
I too doubt it's hardware.
I can't figure it out. Let me know if you come up with anything. I'm
thinking it may be the 2.4.3 kernel...
