I've had the same problem... however with me what happens is it only
crashes like that upon logout...
I can't switch to any VCs with ctrl-alt-Fx, and ctrl-alt-del doesn't
work... and if i start using the Magic
Sysrq key, each try (i.e. alt-sysrq-s) makes the X screen scroll
sideways. It's quite an interesting effect actually
=). I still nevertheless try S U and R... but I have to hit the reboot
button to reboot. However fsck
doesn't detect the file system being "not cleanly unmounted" so perhaps
the S and U are working after all.
Just thought I'd throw in my dillemna =)
