Thanks much Harald. In addition to what you listed below I yum removed the 0.6.2 before I compiled 0.6.1. 0.6.1 was up and running without a hitch until the freeze up occured again. This time it took a little longer to freeze up but it still happened (about 10 minutes now). When I hook the box up via the analog display to an lcd computer monitor I cannot reproduce the freeze up. When connected via component or DVI I do get the freeze up. I am still getting the following errors in /var/log/messages:
