After upgrade to Lucid Alpha 2, boots correctly to login screen but system freezes immediately following password entry. Can be worked around by booting in recovery mode, login from command line, launching gdm, and logging in again. Symptoms very similar to bug Bug #518201.

Following latest system update, issue resolved.
