Are you saying that it freezes completely? Is that with a specific 
application?

There have been reports in the past about freezes with heavy disk or 
network activity. There's also a bug in the CPU that can be triggered in 
some occasions. Working around that bug requires recompiling our 
packages, which won't happen for metad.

I got the impression that chances of freezes are smaller with newer 
kernels. Search for packages starting with "linux-image" and see if 
installing a higher version helps.
