Binary package hint: plymouth

Pressing the enter key causes the whole system to freeze. The system still respond to ssh.

It does not happen on every boot, but a visible screen corruption in the top left side of the screen is a symptom that the crash will happen in that session.

Note: This is not a duplicate of #516412 as stated by Steve Langasek in the comment #78 there.

WORKAROUND (thanks to Simon Baconnais): kill X by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Print+K fixes the problem until the next reboot. Some also may want to remove the plymouth package until this bug is fixed.
