I didn't notice anyone saying they had a crash without X running. I may have missed it. > 3.

Freeze on 32-bit and 64-bit =wipes ou tspecial system Well so far neither my A7V tbird 700 nor my A7N8X-E-DX XP 1700+ have had any crashes, and both run nvidia binary driver. Doesn't prove there isn't a bug, doesn't prove mine won't crash, just that it seems to only affect certain systems. > 5.

Usually at least a nice crash dump is nice. Freezes are not. I wonder if a kernel with deadlock debuging enabled would be useful. alt+sysrq+stuff did nothing? > Well, I hope, this would help a little to stalk to the bug.
