Kernel 2.6.27-3 fails on IBM Thinkpad R31. Boot goes normally to the point that Gnome 2 background should load, then everything goes dead. Screen is blank except for cursor which still works, however keyboard is totally dead. Only key that works is power off.

Alpha 3 ran. Alpha 4 failed this same way. Early Alpha 5 kernel 2.6.27-2 ran O.K., installed O.K., then selected the update applet which installed 2.26.27-3 and no longer runs, fails the same way as today's CD Live:

Today's 20080918 CD Live, same results. Boot goes until Gnome background should load and then keyboard goes dead, screen is black, etc.

I'm downloading Alpha 6 now and will try it tomorrow.

Moral: update applet killed the install. Don't do any more updates! Good thing dual boot still works so I have a running 2.6.27-2 until (if) a CD Live works first.
