Alpha 6 hangs same place, after Ubuntu logon, and brown screen, then screen goes black and keyboard is dead. The IBM Thinkpad R31 is hung altogether, except for power off key.

CD Live and installed Alpha 3 worked, CD live and installed Alpha 5 worked until an update that put in 2.6.27-3 a few days ago. Alpha 5 2.6.27-2 works (that's what I'm using as I enter this comment) so long as I don't permit any updates.

Alpha 4 & Alpha 6 both hung. Since these are CD Live, no way to see any logs or messages.

Booting with quiet & splash off, everything looks normal, it gets the command prompt where startx would be issued, X comes up successfully, then where the Gnome 2 background should show the xcreen goes black and keyboard dead.

Any ideas of things to try?
