I am running SuSE 7.3 and had random lockups while in X. I have an AMD Athlon CPU and what fixed it was setting mem=nopentium. I tried the disableapic and apm=off but that did not work until I used the mem=nopentium.
I have Suse 7.3 with a P-IV, and a nvidia gforce 2MX 400 AGP video card. My system also froze randomly, pretty often, and still does it but about once a month (it is not running continuously, it is a home computer). Mostly it froze when I was login-off kde, and while waiting I tried to switch to a text console with alt-ctrl-F1. Now I wait pattiently till the graphical login appears. I have disabbled apic, but not apm. Also, I switched to GDM instead of KDM as login manager, it seems to load faster and more stable. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
