I will shortly spend a bit of time tracking down the breakage more closely, but my 9-Stable system of June 22 runs fine. After an update on about July 10, I noted that it would hang after Xorg was started, but usually worked. After an upgrade to July 18, my system could no longer start Gnome. It would start Xorg and Gnome would start normally, getting many apps started, but about 10 seconds after the wallpaper loaded, the system would freeze solid. No network access and no response to mouse or keyboard.
I have looked into commits to 9-STABLE during the time at issue and very little seems to have changed due to the pre-9.1 freeze. Similarly, nothing much has changed in any of the X11 ports. This really smells a lot like a race condition. I can trigger the same behavior by enabling VT-x (not VT-d) in BIOS. In all cases where it was intermittent, if my desktop completed startup, the system runs fine until re-booted. This is probably the primary reason I might not have realized that there was a problem as I don't boot the system often except when traveling, which I was between July 1 and July 6 and again July 18 when the system died. Any idea what I might try looking at? -- R.
