OK, here's a suggestion from way out in left field... Try adding the
kernel boot option "noapic" to see if that will help.<br>
<br>
After performing some major surgery on my 5-year-old Myth box,
including upgrading to 9.04, I started getting random lockups as well.
Not sure why the kernel was defaulting to using "apic" on my Nvidia/AMD
system, but specifying "noapic" cleared the problem for me.<br>
<br>
E.g., here's the section I added to my /boot/grub/menu.lst file (of
course, the uuid info is specific to my system):<br>
<blockquote>title Ubuntu 9.04, kernel 2.6.28-13-generic with
noapic<br>
uuid bc3786b7-a402-4fae-89fb-3d95447bb09c<br>
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.28-13-generic
root=UUID=bc3786b7-a402-4fae-89fb-3d95447bb09c ro quiet splash noapic<br>
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.28-13-generic<br>
quiet<br>

At least it's something simple to try ;-)<br>
