Comment 80 for bug 447892

I'm having similar problems with a Asus M5N (Pentium 4M, 855GM) and tried to test the kernel packages from http://www.kvante.info/855GMfreeze/. But sadly those require CPU which supports PAE and Pentium4M does not support that.
If Geir Ove Myhr could produce the kernels 599 and 600 without PAE I could test those.

When starting in recovery-mode as "netroot" and then executing "startx", X will freeze after showing the desktop for ~5 seconds, but mouse keeps moving. I can then switch back to VT1 and kill the running X.
Booting normally causes a bad freeze before network interfaces come up.

I'm currently running up-to-date Lucid Lynx with the hope that this bug will be fixed soonish.
