i explained you in my last mail that CTRL+ALT+PRINT+B is plain
stoopid, so nobody will do this - i CONFIRMED multiple
times that STRG+ALT+PRINT+S does a sync, i hear the drives and
i get messages in dmesg, /var/log/messages AND also in a ALT-F2
console independent if there is a login or not, if there is the
login-prompt i get

SysRq : Emergency Sync
Emergency Sync complete
