(Answer) (Category) Linux on Dell systems FAQ-O-Matic : (Category) Dell Supported Linux Distributions :
After upgrading to kernel 2.4.18-17* or -18*, my system locks up regularly. Is there a fix?
Yes, there is a bug in the tg3 network driver which causes this lockup. The temporary workaround is to change tg3 to bcm5700 in /etc/modules.conf and reboot.

This problem has been fixed in the Red Hat erratum kernel 2.4.18-19*.
