I hope you did a clean install to a reformatted partition(s).
Most problems of this nature involve "upgraded" systems.
I too experienced strangeness until I went back and reformatted and
installed cleanly. This cured all such problems.
7.2 is far more stable and solid than 7.1 in my experience.

Subject: Re: [newbie] MD7.2 Stability
Hi. I installed MD7.2 with KDE 2.0 final on my HP Pavilion. Since then I
observed some interesting problems:
KDE is difficult to shutdown. Sometimes it will take several clicks to the
"logout" to close it.
KPPP docks into the panel and then suddenly disappears but, stays connected.
Complete freez-up. No mouse pointer movement, unable to change to another
consol, unable to kill the xserver with CTRL ALT BACKSAPCE, enormous HD
activity.
...but I still have fun!
Any tips? Thanks.
Hektor
P.S. I am using the ReiserFS.
