Public bug reported:
I haven't found any bug exactly like this although some seem to be very similar.
Using an up-to-date hardy installation I've had this problem plaguing me
for some time now. Every now and then during VT-switch, everything turns
black, the hard drive led keeps blinking and nothing works, not even the
magic sysrq combinations. Only thing left is to shutdown the laptop.
At first, I thought this was related to suspend, cause that's normally
when I see it, but after seeing the same problem when trying to reboot
or log out I noticed it had to do with any form of VT-switching. It
seems to happen about one out of three times.
It's been very hard to acquire any relevant debugging information. All I
have is an xorg.log. I hope it helps.
The graphics chip is an intel 855GM, I'm using the intel driver.
