I hope I am placing this in the correct place:

Hello, I've also had the same problem as bennyatc, only my notebook is an HP Pavilion zv6000. Here is my info:

Linux EPHNetworks 2.6.20-16-generic #2 SMP Thu Aug 30 23:16:15 UTC 2007 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I've encountered this problem while using Konsole and xemacs. Note that I run xemacs from the command line, so Konsole is open then, too.

Frequency of the problem is inconsistent. Over the last 3 or 4 days it has occurred about 6 times or so. It occurs while I am typing, most frequently when I am using arrow keys or backspace, although it happened one time after I hit the "p" key.

Please note that I run a dual boot setup and run Linux from a Seagate 500GB Free Agent Desktop external HD, and have changed the settings of /sys/block/sda/device/scsi_disk*/allow_restart to 1 in order to alleviate I/O problems with the HD where it remounts my partitions as read only.
