Kubuntu System Hangs!

[Matt Patterson]

I have a athlon smp system and have been fighting the hard freeze for 
over a year now. Two things that I have found to cause huge problems are 
enabling opengl in Xorg, and enabling any form of agp support on my 
video card.  I have no problems if I boot without smp, but obviously 
that sucks. My current attempt uses:

noapic nolapic acpi=off pci=noacpi

And I have enabled agpart use for my nvidia card (instead of none or 
using the nvidia kernel module). I still have opengl disabled. This 
appears ok, but I have only had it up for 4 days now, normally I make it 
at least a couple of weeks. We'll see. I'll keep you updated.

This problem SUCKS!
