Steve Langasek This is a log from right after a hung boot? Yes, it is. Steve Langasek If you press Alt+SysRq+K at the hung screen, does X restart and are you then able to use the system without a reboot? No. All keyboard input is frozen. I tried that input along with all the others from REISUB.

I just found another wrinkle regarding this problem. When I boot Lucid and it freezes, if I then power-cycle(no other choice), when it boots again it may boot up completely. Sometimes it takes 5 times doing this, but eventually it will go through to a complete boot. What do you make of that?
