The following would be a good start: - Detailed disk configuration information; which drives, connected where. Include CDROMs, extra add-in cards, etc. - Are any disk lights on? On solid, or blinking? - Hit Alt-F2 and tell us everything you see. We've had reports of this many times, but never been able to reproduce it. If you or someone else in the SF Bay area has a machine that does this repeatably, we'd *really* like to borrow it for a few days.
