Was it me? Details at

If it seems to be the same problem, it could help if details were
sent to 379480@bugs.debian.org
I've found the keyboard still works to a limited extent. If I have a
text tntry window open at the moment of freeze, it continues to accept
input. If it's an open shell window. I can even execute commands.
But if anything happens to terminate input (such as hitting return on a
URL entry window in a browser) the freeze becomes complete.
I'm not sure whether it is still possible to ssh in from another system
when it freezes. IN any case when it was possible, it was too slow to
be usable (keypress echo in excess of 15 seconds, protocol delays enough
to time out during initial connection)

My workaround has been to use Ubuntu dapper drake. But all the other
systems on my network use Debian, so it's an anomaly.

Fails on evry kernel I've used.

I don't recall ever getting a freeze when no one was using the machine
(except as a file server).
