I'm experiencing this freeze too.  I've disabled irqbalance, put
"noirqbalance" in the kernel parameters, removed compiz.  But my F7
system still freezes a few times a day.

It appears related to the desktop environment.  I can leave it there
for weeks, with server processes running.  But if I sit there and
using the desktop environment, it then freezes frequently.  Nothing in
the log files.

I'm running F7 x86_64, with AMD X2 and the latest nVidia driver.  I've
run memtest for hours without errors.  The kernel version is
2.6.21-1.3228.fc7.

Same here. I have these random freezes on my laptop and since I do not
have another m/c to access it, I am completely hosed :-(

The mouse & keyboard do not respond. I wanted to use compiz but then the
system would freeze more often.

I believe the problem is strongly related to the graphics driver. I have
a ATI M300 => radeon300 driver.

During the recent freezes, the only application that could have caused
an issue was Thunderbird's notification mechanism (which brings up a popup)

This behavior is definitely not acceptable. But what frustrates me the
most is the absence of any logs!!!! (Arghhh!!) Any hope of logging a bug
so that developers could fix the issue is lost.

Does any one know how I could capture these error messages? What are the
parameters to generate logs for the graphics drivers?

thanks,
Rogue

From what I have gathered from different forums and bug lists is that this is not directly a driver issue but an issue between the driver and kernel. It seems to occur with different video drivers.

On one forum, it was reported by someone that they compiled their own kernel without CFS support and all their freezups were gone.
