I have a two-year-old ThinkPad T60. It recently developed some screen problems--the display was losing colors, and finally started to die completely, going to black shortly after startup--so I sent it back for a warranty repair. I pulled the hard drive before I shipped it.
It's back now, but the machine is now locking up hard at various points in the boot process. The first few times it froze at "Setting the system clock"; then at "Activing swapfile swap". Now it is booting all the way and letting me log into Gnome, but then locks up soon after. Needless to say, it was working fine (aside from the screen) before the repair. They included a note saying that they had also upgraded the BIOS and embedded controller--to 2.23 and 1.07 respectively. I'm running Debian unstable, kernel 2.6.29-2-686. I'd be very grateful for any suggestion about what might have caused this, and for how to evaluate and fix it. Thanks.
