Happens for me using 32-bit w/nvidia on a Latitude D630.  It's as if the Enter 
key was remapped to a "system freeze" function.  I can log in and do many tasks 
using the mouse to click through confirmation dialogs, but as soon as I hit the 
Enter key, be it at the terminal or to press a highlighted button, the system 
freezes and cannot be recovered.  Only holding down the power button will power 
it off (I did not try the alt-sysRq+b sequence.)
Removed the "plymouth" package through aptitude in the recovery console and now 
it's fine.
