I've got an Athlon 800 which is occasionally locking up in X, but I can log in from a terminal and kill X, and everything works fine after that (until it locks up again). The mem=nopentium option doesn't seem to have any affect on this problem, as far as I can tell. I have run this machine for a year with RedHat 6.1 and a 2.2.18 kernel without troubles. The lockup has begun since I upgraded to RedHat 7.1 with it's default 2.4.x kernel.
