System Freeze After 1st boot and Login

[Rob Williams]

Hi, 

I'm having an odd problem with my toshiba satellite 2410 laptop w/Fedora FC1. Nvidia video driver. 

The first time I turn on the laptop, it boots normally, displays the login screen and I log in successfuly.  After the desktop (gnome) loads completely, the entire system freezes - no mouse, no system response at all. 

I power off the laptop, start it again and it boot, logins in and the desktop load perfectly.  The system _NEVER_ freezes the second time it boots. 

The only difference I can see is the second time the laptop boots, the video-boot screen (where the init services load) is only text mode.  The first time is always graphical.

Anyone have any input?  One thing I haven't done yet is to force text mode boot, which I will try tonight.  But any other suggestions would be appreciated.

Oh, I am using the NVIDIA official driver and this issue was happening before I started using it.

Thanks. 
Rob
