 Would you describe CPU, motherboard, video card, keyboard, mouse, SCSI
 controller (if any), network card and other peripheral devices your
 machies have?
 
 What EXACTLY happened when the machines froze? Was the screen trashed
 in any way? Did the keyboard seem to work? Any beep sound?  Which
 device did you enabled/disable in the kernel configuratiaon menu?
 Were there any error/warning messages during boot time?
