I used to get this when using ati-drivers (radeon). This has not happened for a good year though. Sysreq not responsive but you could ssh into machine. Ssh maybe worth a try. If you do not have radeon then the advise is close to meaningless.

Subject: [gentoo-user] Questions about the magic Sys Req keys
|

Howdy,
|
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
I just had a hard lock up. I had a random reboot the other day while I
|
| 14 |
was sleeping as well. This was with gentoo-sources 2.6.39. I'm not
|
| 15 |
sure what caused the one the other day but I had several days of
|
| 16 |
uptime. The one I just had was also after a few days of uptime. I was
|
| 17 |
logged into KDE when EVERYTHING froze. The mouse pointer wouldn't
|
| 18 |
move. The clock stopped. The numlock light wouldn't even change when I
|
| 19 |
hit the key for it. So, X was locked up pretty good. I also couldn't
|
| 20 |
switch to a console either. This is the odd part. I tried to use the
|
| 21 |
magic Alt SysReq keys to at least try to get a reasonable shutdown.
|
| 22 |
They didn't work either.
|
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
So, my question is this. What kind of lock up could keep the magic keys
|
| 25 |
from working? This is on my new amd64 machine. It was totally stable
|
| 26 |
until the kernel upgrade. I think this could be a kernel issue. I
|
| 27 |
booted a older kernel and will test it for a few days but wanted to know
|
| 28 |
what kind of lockups could keep the magic keys from working. After the
|
| 29 |
hal/xorg deal, we all know how I hate hard resets. ;-)

Thanks much.
