I had a 2.0.7 freeze yesterday. I didn't have time to mess about with
telnetting in to the frozen machine (P166), but I had no response from X
(which I was in at the time) or VCs. Hardware reset was my recourse.

I doubt that the sound module is to blame: I've got no sound card in
this machine and no sound support configured into the kernel.
