I have a 6.3-PRERELEASE system (last cvsupped Dec 12), which always freezes *once* a few minutes after booting up.

This is usually when your system accesses swap because you ran out of free RAM.

last pid: 1264; load averages: 1.04, 1.04, 1.01 up 0+02:07:15 21:59:30
82 processes: 2 running, 80 sleeping
CPU states: 0.4% user, 98.5% nice, 1.1% system, 0.0% interrupt, 0.0% idle
Mem: 149M Active, 227M Inact, 100M Wired, 1388K Cache, 84M Buf, 251M Free
Swap: 512M Total, 512M Free


OK, it is not in use now, but check again immediately after the pause.

I just did that. Rebooted, logged back in using xdm, quickly started an xterm and top in it. Then moved around the mouse pointer. When the freeze happened, 'top' (which itself froze too) showed that 609 MB memory was free and no swap was being used.
