The distro is installed, but lately I've had freezes during the
installation process.  Tomorrow, or whenever the new beta arrives, I'll
be doing installation on the machine again.  3x alternate and 3x desktop.

I can't get the machine to crash on demand.

The output is from lshw.  I'm not so sure how reliable that is.  It
should be registering an Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU.  I'm not up on hardware
enough to know whether that is dual core or dual cpu.  But either way,
both should be the same.  Looking at /proc/cpuinfo shows that both are
the same, so I suspect that the fault is with lshw.

Below is the output of lsmod.  That should show all the drivers, right?
 Should I be checking immediately after boot?  It has about 9 hours of
uptime right now.
