In my case, I was running a quad-core AMD with a 64-bit Linux. For a while I
thought it was a problem that showed up on "fast" machines. Then someone at
our Linux group had it on an old 32-bit Pentium-4 laptop.

I would stress that whether the machine boots to runlevel "N 2" or "unknown"
appears to be largely random. Several times I thought I had found a fix
(several good boots in a row) and then I'd get burned again.
