- From what I found, the system is effectively dead as well. The freeze seems to lock the I/O subsystem of the kernel. Thus, killing the network, mouse, and keyboard. I think that it is creating a race condition where the system is both shutting down and starting up the card at the same time, effectively grabbing at the card at the same time. Just a thought, would running my vc's in framebuffer mode cause a conflict here? - -- Gary L.
