X won't start on 2.5.37, but works with 2.5.36 The screen goes black as usual, but then nothing else happens. ssh'ing in from another machine shows XFree86 using 50% cpu, i.e. one of the two cpu's in this machine.
killing the XFre86 process is impossible, even with kill -9 from root. sysrq SAK worked though, so I could recover the machine. But I had to boot a different kernel to run X.
lspci 00:0f.0 VGA compatible controller: S3 Inc. ViRGE/DX or /GX (rev 01)
2.5.37 SMP kernel
XFree86 Version 4.1.0.1 / X Window System (protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6510) Release Date: 21 December 2001
Distribution debian testing
