Hi Glen, <snip>
I had a problem with this until I disabled the BIOS power management stuff and the linux kernel power management stuff.
Excellent point! I ended up having to add the following to my /boot/grub/menu.lst entries:
apm=off acpi=off
And that was on a Dell PowerEdge 2600 that you'd "think" would work fine.
I had to do that in 10.1 as well; although in 10.2 those parameters were NOT needed. Very strange.
In the distant past, adding "noapic" also helped, although I didn't seem to need it this time.
Anyway, you can test by just typing those things on the options line at the boot prompt and booting with them and seeing if it works. Then if it does you can make them a more permanent part of your bootloader configuration.

I will do this and reboot and see if this helps the lock ups. Thanks for the tip.
