Yes, I can confirm that I cannot switch to a text console upon the freezing. In an increasingly weird turn, my USB wireless mouse also works. The wireless light on my Intel 4965AGN (which blinks in Linux with network activity) continues to run, and my hard drive light blinks as well.

However, I've tried to use the mouse to memory-navigate to shutdown, which does not work (even after 60 seconds). I've even gone as far to hit ALT-F2, type gnome-terminal, hit enter, and type "sudo poweroff", enter, my password, and enter again. No dice.
