Comment 6 for bug 502838

I seem to have the same issue.
But I have the VT for a longer time, some messages about readahead and /home being clean, then gibberish.
But I even do net get readable output on my attached 2nd Monitor - only gibberish on my netbooks monitor. The system is not unresponsive as the contents changes when I press Esc. I did not try anything else for safety reasons. Ctrl-Alt-Del reboots instantly.

If I boot to maintenance mode and start gdm manually everything works fine.

This seemed to first happen, when I attached my external monitor for the first time. Right after the installation of Alpha1 everything was fine. But now it does not matter if it is connected or not.

Machine: Asus EEE 1000H with Intel GMA.

I have no logs of these incidents, the root fs seems to be mounted ro this early.
