The same problem exists with the current 64-bit Sidux-Moros, Debian-Live-Lenny-5.0.3, and all ubuntu/kubuntu/xubuntu karmic and lucid versions. It also exists with the ubuntu-karmic-mini.iso. The problem DOES NOT exist on the current OpenSUSE-11.2 live cd. All of these have been tested both on CD and on USB sticks created with usb-creator-kde.
This system was designed for 64-bit, and came from the vendor with 64-bit vista on it.
When the system hangs, it does not respond to CTRL-ALT-DEL or any other key presses; it requires a power down with the power switch.
I am running the current 64-bit 2.6.31-20-generic kernel in karmic, and I am testing a karmic system upgraded to the current lucid 2.6.32 kernel, as well as an up-to-date Sidux 2.6.32 system, and all run without crashes or other problems.
I do not know if this problem is related, but I am unable to do a full upgrade of the karmic system to lucid. Attempting to boot after the upgrade results in a system hang after the udev warnings; the system is apparently unable to mount the file system. In the case of this attempted upgrade, after the system hangs it does respond to CTRL-ALT-DEL. So this is probably a different issue.
