Weird:
I replaced my HD as mentioned earlier, and the lockups stopped.

Now, 4 months later, my lockups are suddenly back. They have been happening a few times a week now, for the past month or so. Could they be due to some kind of HD corruption? Some Ext3 bug? Can anyone confirm whether a clean install "fixes" the problem?

At this point I would rule out the wifi card (there are reports with both Intel and Atheros) and the display adapter (there are reports with NVidia and ATI/AMD).

My system:
T60, Intel Core 2 Duo, ATI Mobility Radeon x1300 (happens with both open- and closed-source drivers), Atheros wireless card (happens with both madwifi and ath5k drivers)
