Comment 7 for bug 500686

Geir Ove Myhr, I tried kernel v2.6.33-rc and exactly the same thing
happened: desktop loaded and I could move the mouse around until I moved
it to the top over a hardrive error icon at the top (my second drive is
bad) . I will attempt to enter this on your table on the page you set up
