For some reason, when I installed FC3, I got two kernels,
one for SMP, the other for uniprocessing.
Although I only have one processor,
the SMP version was made the default.
You probably have a P4 with hyperthreading.
Unless I was quick enough to stop it, the SMP version would
run for a while and freeze. The reset button produced an
unclean reboot. After about three of those, the filesystems
were corrupted beyond repair. I had to reinstall.
