Is it possible a computer gets stuck (not responding to keyboard, the only way to bring it back alive is a hard reset) because of a incompatibility between the kernel and userspace? The cursor is still flickering though, that is what leads me to believe it's software crash, not a hardware crash.

This is the software in question:

glibc 2.9-4
kernel-headers 2.6.27.6-2
kernel26 2.6.25.10-1

If there was a problem, you should get "kernel too old" as soon as init is started. Our userspace should work with 2.6.16 and newer (some kernel-related things like udev might fail, but the binaries themselves should be able to execute).

However, you can never rule out a bug that causes this, I am only stating what it _should_ support.
