The kernel completely hangs up, no num lock, no caps lock, no hard disk 
activity light, no nothing whatsoever for any amount of time until you 
absolutely HAVE to hit the reset button?

This is probably completely trivial, but it may reveal a bug.  I have never 
tested Rosegarden where it had to run JACK for itself.  Can you try already 
having JACK running (I recommend QJackCtl) when you start Rosegarden?

This isn't a permission problem.  I've seen this crop up a lot with the new 
track parameters work.  Various pieces of code have to make sure a track 
exists before they try to do something.  No track exists during startup, and 
it can cause an endless string of these errors, which is corrected by going 
into the code to insert an

if (!track) return;

in an appropriate spot.  I created and fixed a number of these bugs myself.  
This was always the solution.

I tried looking at file permission stuff too, and that wasn't the problem.  
Trying to do something to a track that didn't exist yet was the problem.

I guess that could conceivably also cause a hang somehow.

The real question is why is this happening though.

I don't know, off hand.  I'm hoping someone better at debugging without blind 
guesswork will pipe up with some suggestions.
