Unfortunately I don't have any kind of reg dump or even an oops (not yet
anyway), but 1.3.88 has locked up solid on me 4 times in the last 2 days.
When I say "locked up solid" I mean I had to use the big 'ol reset button
:) I never had this problem with .84 (which is my previous kernel).

The only reason I'm posting this without any other info is in case other
people have been having similar problems and have been refraining from
posting due to lack of info. I wonder if it's my computer overheating...
hmmm

Anyway, here are my specs:

486DX2/66, 16M, #9 GXE64, NE2000, PAS16, MPU-401

It has done this solid lockup in both X (3.1.2) and in console mode. I'll
try to rule out an overheating computer by backing down to .84, but it was
too much of a coincidence. (altho it has been rather warm here recently)
