Hey,
Are you using the same hardware? I downloaded the Mandrake distro from
their site and just installed. No compilations. When u encountered those
lockups, did the mouse pointer also disappear??
I think you can help me out on this. so please send in more details about
ur situation....
Similar hardware I suspect:

Athlon 1800 xp+
ECS K7S5A Motherboard
Chipset SIS735
256 mb pc133
onboard audio, nic, usb
Radeon VE AGP 32mb vid card.
Hauppauge tv bttv based (radio/tv/capture)
firewire card

I don't know that the mouse would actually disappear, but the box would completely lock up. I've got xdaliclock and gkrellm running and the desktop would look like a snapshot, everything stopped. Keyboard would not respond either (caps lock would not toggle caps lock led).

I couldn't ping the box or access from other machines on my network that could previously to the lock up.

I had been running with the stock kernel that comes with mdk 9.0. I rebuilt the kernel from kernel.org sources and it's not locked up since.

I didn't have to buy my radio from a specific company to listen
to FM, why doesn't that apply to the Internet (anymore...)?
