Since last updates it is absolutely necessary to boot windows before rebooting into Linux. X will not work otherwise. If Windows wasn't booted before the whole system will freeze instantly, showing some graphical garbage. No mouse, no keyboard, no remote shell. Even most logs are not written (or whatever had to be written wasn't committed and rolled back next boot). Only hard resetting helps out.
Booting again, without having started windows before leads to exactly the same result. Trying "recovery mode" has the same (!) result. It isn't possible to enter anything. Same garbled screen. Having booted windows before all is OK. I can work, X running. This is all with kernel 2.6.32-9. Booting with kernel 2.6.32-10 will never lead to a working system, regardless of booting windows before or not. Difference: no garbage on screen. Only a black screen without anything on it, except a mouse cursor, which I can not move.
