To all people hit by the lock up, grey screen, and actually anything 
that is fixed by turning AGPDMA off, it seems there is possibly a 
regression in the via_agp module included in recent kernels ( >= 2.6.22 
or something like that). It has not yet been properly tracked down.
Keep in mind that turning AGPDMA off is only a workaround that will hide 
a bug somewhere else. Keep in mind it'll need to be turned on again when 
the actual bug is fixed.
