WARNING: Keyboard frozen detected. Press any key to continue.
Hmmm, I don't quite understand the details, but I've found that keyboard
frozen sometimes just means that X (or an X-app) is not playing nice --
not necessarily that keyboard input has stopped. I guess it's the order
of handlers in the keyboard chain. Things I try before pulling the
switch are, in order:
ctrl-alt-f1 (login and kill apps & X and/or telinit 1 then telinit 5)
ctrl-backspace (shutdown X (session?))
alt-sysreq S, alt-sysreq U, alt-sysreq B (sync, umount, boot)
If the first one works, that would seem to cause the minimum disruption.
The second is well known, and AFAIK it unceremoniously kills apps.
The third one tries to avoid filesystem problems.

For the uninitiated, how does one do "sysreq" in alt-sysreq S (and ilk).
