I can echo similar problems since switching to 2.6.4 and now 2.6.5. This
is on a Debian box running the testing tree. I more often experience the
lock-up when GDM is running and no users logged it. Sometimes when I try
to log in via X the machine will lock up tight as soon as I hit ENTER after
entering my password. GDM never exits and I can't get to any virtual
console. Sometimes the magic SysRq works to reboot, sometimes not. And
sometimes the machine is locked up and I can't type my user name.
It seems to be totally random when it happens.
And to make it more interesting, sometimes (though less often) X will lock
up while I'm using it.
I'm not sure if this is a kernel or X problem. It never happens if I
switch back to 2.4.25.
