Well i tried to monitor via ssh. This is the output of sudo cat /proc/kmsg :

Output seems the same. BTW, the above is on dapper because I reverted to it (clean install) on this machine, but the problem remained. Otherwise, i forgot to mention that on edgy, when in X i have no access to a virtual tty (ctrl+alt+Fx), it appears completely garbled, but accepts "blind" input. No such problem in dapper. It seems to me that this problem appeared after this famous hi-panic xorg dapper upgrade which broke many ubuntus, but now i forgot to test this before patching my new dapper install. Last thing, in dapper swithching to a console and rebooting from there never caused any problems -- Lockup problems with both the free xorg ATI driver and the proprietary fglrx driver, using various ATI cards https://launchpad.net/bugs/30447 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
