What boot-loader do you use? I used to use LILO but have found GRUB to be easier to configure.
LILO. I've never looked at GRUB.
If it is software related I would check out the particular combination of motherboard/BIOS/chip set you have. However last time I had a problem like this it turned out to be a slowly dying power supply where the voltages where drifting away from the required 5v or 12v and causing odd things to happen like video/sound card lock-up, keyboard or mouse problems, etc).
Coo. That sounds exactly like the problems I've been having. Do you have to be moderately good at hardware to check for this?
