Here are my two cents: Linux 7.1 on 1.3 GHz Athlon ECS K7S5A Motherboard 1024 mb ram Matrox G450
I have been experiencing the exact same lockups. I have upgraded the kernel to 2.4.19 and installed the XFree4.2 from the sources. Everything was recompiled for athlon. Everything seemed ok for a while, but then it locked up again just yesterday when I was logging in. Right after the xdm login screen disappeared, but before the desktop had a chance to appear... The root partition ended up being badly damaged, I am assuming as a result of the hard reset. The lockup must've happened at some critical point? Actually, I did noticed that usually there is a whole lot more filesystem damage in the result of the X lockup than, for example, when the computer goes off because of a power blackout. It happened to me several times (I don't have the UPS). In fact, there is this one error that I only get after the lockup. I can't remember exactly what it says, but it's something along the lines that several files (not links to files) end up pointing at the same cluster on the hard drive, so it asks if I want to duplicate the cluster. Those would usually be the files that I had open at the time of lockup... I had these lockups with 2.4.16 and XFree4.1, too.
