Public bug reported: Binary package hint: xorg
The problem is between power up and login, the screen goes into standby and disk activity drops to a low level/ceases. The first instance of this I could not recover from and even booting in safe mode gave me nothing. I then installed a completely fresh 11.04, on a different partition. All went well for a few days and then this morning, the freeze recurred. This time, however, the safe mode boot worked and, on choosing the basic graphics options, everything went ok and the system is back up and running. I haven't rebooted since....just in case.
