I updated to the latest 2.6.22 kernel and my machine still freezes on
me. So now I'm using the "nv" driver. I'll see if it still freezes.

I am interested in how your F7 freezes. I had a freeze yesterday. What
happened I think was all the fast RAM got used and it was using the Swap
partition. I watched my hard drive light and it was on solid. I did
Ctrl-Alt F1 and in about 3 minutes it dropped to a prompt. But I was
unable to log in it so slow.
Does this sound like yours?
