Same here on a Dell Inspiron 8000 with Dapper with last updates.

Did some debug:

the problem arise wen dpkg configures the package running "/var/lib/dpkg/info/wvdial.postinst" this script runs "wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf".

Running a "sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf" manually locks the compuer again:

Editing '/etc/wvdial.conf'.

Scanning your serial ports for a modem.

Modem Port Scan<*1>: Scanning ttyLTM0 first, /dev/modem is a link to it.

---------------------------------------
and the computer freezes again.... LT modem dirver seems to be the problem...
