I can't offer much insight but HTH.

i just got a 20GB disk and installed redhat 7.2 with ext3 fs on one of the extended partitions.

Do you have a primary partition for swap space? I don't know about the latest releases but 6.0 couldn't use extended partitions for swapping. I've been using only primary swaps since.

Once I had specified more VRAM than I had and that too caused hang-ups, so another thing to look at.

is this a problem with ext3 ?????

Ext3 has been working marvellously for me since 7.2 appeared and has survived a handful of outages. I've got two machines with uptimes between 30 - 45 days.
