(Get the code!)
Same here for several months: freeze within the first five minutes after boot, keyboard locked (except Alt-SysRq-B), but mouse pointer still moving. Sometimes it recovered spontaneously after about one minute. Sometimes there is screen corruption.
I've come to the conclusion that it must be a hardware error, probably occurring at a certain temperature in the warming up of the PC. When I reset the PC after it happens (without powering off) and reboot, t remains stable for hours...
I've tried all combinations of kernels, drivers, kernel boot parameters and compiz. The only thing puzzling me still: why do so many people keep reporting the same problem? And the question remains: is it the processor (AMD Athlon 64 single core in my case), the motherboard, the RAM (RAM test reveals no errors) or the video card (Nvidia 6600 in my case)? The combination AMDx64 and Nvidia seems rather frequent in these posts.
