Geir, the first time I attempted to run the commands you mentioned the computer froze and the ssh session froze so I couldn't do it. The second time the computer froze, but the ssh session remained open. I did the same thing both times and I was connected via ethernet both times. I'm not sure what, if anything, was different.

I will try removing the "splash" option as you suggested and try again.

Is there any point trying older kernels, as the problem does not exist using the LiveCD, so presumably we could try to narrow it down by trying either older kernels or older X drivers, right?
