seemingly random lock-up with kernel 2.2.17p7

[me at johngrimes.com]

Gwyn,
	It does look we might have the same bug.  I'm not using XFree86-4
either I'm also at XFree86-3.3.6-8a.  Did you say you had a rage128gl
card?  Although I do usually have xmms open when I crash I usually am not
playing sound so I don't think thats the problem.
	Where can I get the latest 2.2 series kernel and more importantly,
the latest rage128gl drivers (source off course is fine).  I use some hfs
so I don't really want to try 2.4pre series as yet.
	It also might be time to try Xfree86-4 (although I don't think
this would fix it).  I really want to get multihead to work but I didn't
have any luck with Xfree86-4 in the earlier incarnations to even get one
monitor working.
					John
PS I am using BootX but I don't think that is the problem.
