Comment 17 for bug 8016

It sounds like there may be two bugs here. One is a kernel issue, and hangs the
machine regardless of any ACPI events (such as switching the vt). That one
should be reproducible even when X is not running, and is being tracked as bug
#9966. Please add yourself to the CC list for that bug if you are experiencing
the same problem, and try the workaround mentioned there.

As to the original bug, we need to hear from Scott Dier:

- Does the problem occur even without X (in which case this bug, too, is a
duplicate of bug #9966)
- Is the problem fixed in Hoary (in which case this bug can be closed)
