I just encountered the same thing. Blender crashed and brought down X
(separate problem, will report). The screen was black. I couldn't switch
to a tty. I pressed Ctrl-Alt-Delete and got the familiar "ding." Nothing
happened. I was able to ssh in from another machine and found the
following in a tail of /var/log/syslog:

Oct  1 15:51:12 localhost init: rc6 process (16981) killed by signal 15
Oct  1 15:51:12 localhost init: rc6 process (16996) killed by signal 15
Oct  1 15:51:12 localhost init: rc6 process (17012) killed by signal 15
Oct  1 15:51:12 localhost init: rc6 process (17066) killed by signal 15
Oct  1 15:51:12 localhost init: rc6 process (17075) killed by signal 15
Oct  1 15:51:12 localhost init: rc6 process (17095) killed by signal 15
Oct  1 15:51:12 localhost init: rc6 process (17111) killed by signal 15
Oct  1 15:51:12 localhost init: control-alt-delete respawning too fast, stopped
Oct  1 15:51:16 localhost last message repeated 130 times
Oct  1 15:51:17 localhost init: rc6 process (17228) killed by signal 15

Running sudo shutdown -r now completed successfully and displayed the
message about the system going. Nothing happened, and there were no
further messages to syslog. I was finally able to bring the system down
with:

sudo telinit 0

What else do you need, in terms of files/hardware specs/etc., to track
this down? I'm running Edgy, all updated as of today.
