I actually had hard freezes on my laptop with a savage TwisterK, while running the Dapper Beta 2 live installer. The crashes came during partioning or "loading hardware modules".

This happened 3 three times. I could do sysreq-B to reboot, but then it would hang again during the reboot. I had to power off for a while.

I commented out Load "dri" from xorg.conf and restarted X (and unloaded the savage and drm modules) and now I have successfully installed Beta 2, which runs fine without DRI. I will try to reenable DRI and see how it goes.

This was not happening in flight 6, even after having updated to the 2.6.15-21-386 kernel.
