Not really. You have probably misunderstood. The original problem was
that X started and occasionally froze for shorter or longer periods.
Now it was completely different. X did not really start, but I just
got an empty screen with a blinking cursor. But the keyboard did not
work at all (I could not switch to a linux console with either Alt-F1
or Ctrl-Alt-F1).
I could try 2.6.32-41 but I would be testing for a completely
different (possibly irrelevant) issue.
Regards,
Zsolt
