Dear Sluggers,

When my laptop is connected to our Novell network my display and keyboard freeze 9 out of 10 times when I log out of Windowmaker or Gnome. If I halt the system from a terminal window in either of these I get a kernel panic message after the system starts to close down.

If I issue "umount /mnt/novell-partitions && /sbin/ifdown eth0" before quitting either of these window managers then I can close my machine gracefully.

(KDE does not like this machine even if I append the apm=broken_psr tag when booting)

Running otherwise delightful ReHat 8.0, Windowmaker 0.80.1(latest stable), Gnome 2 with current upgrades from RHN.
