I get exactly the same thing every once in a while on my Sid
partition. Hitting the reset switch usually cures it. But it NEVER
happens on my Dapper installation. And it never happened before I
switched computers to my current one...Intel 865GB MB, with 2.6 GHZ
dual core processor. Could that (dual-core) be the reason. I have
goggled the problem but never came up with much.
