Dead -> Loading -> Hang

[Linux.Blue]

my system is:

Processor: AMD Athlon XP 64 bit (3200+)
Distro: MandrivaLinux 2007.1 Spring
Kernel: 2.6.17-13mdv
Graphic Card: NVIDIA 7300 GT

I never got any errors with the radio message though. My only problems are when it says "loading...", it freezes.
Also, this happened about three times:

Spoiler below!

I believe this was right after the first worm encounter. I do know that this was in the area where you walked near the spiders nest to pull a lever that activated a door to open. You had to run back quick to get into the other room. Three times straight, two of them after pulling the lever, it froze. The last was before I got there.

Otherwise, no other errors, except once, it didn't even want to load the game itself. I type in "sh (name of game)", and just ended up with a blank screen.
