Close, I am not seeing it time out to another login prompt, it just hangs.
My top display also stops running. Also, on a reboot it won't come back to the prompt, it will freeze after it loads up HIL. The last lines I get are: Ext3-fs: INFO: recover required on readonly filesystem. Ext3-fs: write access will be enabled during recovery. HIL KEYB: HIL keyboard found (did = 0xdf, lang = english.us) input0: HIL keyboard on hil0 kenrel BUG at slab.c:1130! HIL PTR: HIL pointer device found (did: 0x68, axis: relative) HIL PTR: HIL pointer has 3 buttons and 1 sets of 2 axes input1: HIL mouse on hil0 In order to get past this I boot into a earlier kernel, and boot back. I am wondering if it has something to do with the EXT3 recovery. One thing I notice on booting the old kernel is : kernel: EXT3-fs: INFO: recovery required on readonly filesystem. kernel: EXT3-fs: write access will be enabled during recovery. kernel: kjournald starting. Commit interval 5 seconds kernel: EXT3-fs: recovery complete. kernel: EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. kernel: VFS: Mounted root (ext3 filesystem) readonly. kernel: Freeing unused kernel memory: 384k freed kernel: Adding Swap: 125236k swap-space (priority -1) kernel: EXT3 FS 2.4-0.9.17, 10 Jan 2002 on sd(8,19), internal journal Aug 30 09:58:46 x5 kernel: mice: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice Aug 30 09:58:46 x5 kernel: eth0: link ok. There is no message for kjournald on the newer kernel, on an unclean reboot. now do I get the message for a clean reboot. Thanks for looking into this...

It's quite odd...
