I forgot to include that the system is locked at that point. When the blue
screen with the garbage is showing I can't flip to the other ttys. The only
key combo that works at that point is Ctrl-Alt-Del which switches me to the
black screen and the info I posted and put in bugzilla.
Hmm, that makes it reeeal tricky to diagnose.
Not sure what to suggest yet, but keep an eye on things, and if it's
still broken as we approach test3, shout louder, and wave your arms a bit,
and I'll see if I have any more bright ideas.
Unfortunately I don't have a digital camera. I am a little
behind the
times.
I'm surprised they haven't started showing up as free gifts in cereal packets yet
