I'm also encountering this problem on a Toshiba M35X-S114 laptop with an
Intel 855GM.  It freezes 90% of the time when switching to a VT,
shutdown, or restart.  It occurs with these actions from gdm or Gnome.
Nothing useful in the logs.  SSH server non-responsive.  Laptop doesn't
have a serial port so I can't use the serial console either.  When it
doesn't crash I get a persistent vertical white line from the middle of
the screen to the bottom edge in the VT.  Switching to vesa eliminates
all these problems.  Only oddity with vesa is a rainbow pattern is
momentarily displayed before gdm starts.  Thee is also a series of green
vertical lines shown momentarily along the top edge of the desktop when
switching back from a VT.
