To advance on this bug, we will need to know these details.

I'm happy that you have a workaround that works for you, but I'd rather we
fix the underlying bug. :)

No, this issue is not reproducible for the vast majority of people. It may
be specific to your hardware, or specific to some software you have
configured at boot time. This is what we need to determine.

I see that your machine is listed as a Lenovo ThinkPad SL500, which is a
relatively uncommon model of ThinkPad. The more you can help us trace
through this on your hardware, the better we'll be able to pin down the bug,
I expect.
