Installed the new kernel this am, and updated all my modules (fglrx and

time later and it was in screen saver. I have this machine set to require a
password to exit screensaver. It took the password and the desktop opened.
Then, I noticed there was no mouse cursor. Looked at the CPU activity
monitor and it was pegged at 100%. Waited a long while but to no avail. Was
able to switch to a console with Ctl-Alt-F1 but before I could log in, I
got a kernel panic and some messages about being unable to sync. I did a
hard reset and came back up, and then tried a reboot. The screen switched
to black after a moment, and the machine hung - no commands accepted, no
activity visible on the machine, nothing - did another hard reset. Per an
earlier message, I tried upgrading module-init-tools from updates-testing.
Tried another reboot, but got the same result again when I tried a
shutdown... For now, I've booted into the previous kernel.

Just tried this on a second machine, a P4 2.0 with 640MB ram. Running the same
kernel-modules, fglrx and NTFS, plus the vmwareplayer, all of which i updated
- seem to have the same results - system just locked up on shutdown. I didn't
wait to see what would happen in screen-saver mode. I haven't upgraded
module-init-tools on this machine, yet, and I guess I'll hold off. Booting
into previous kernel keeps me going for now.
