I am running Gutsy on a dual-core machine, and I am having the same problem.
My Caps Lock and Scroll Lock both started blinking and the system froze, while I was ripping a DVD (just direct dump of the data). The emergency key combinations (Alt-Sysrq-*) did nothing. Since I'm on a dual-core machine, does having both of the lights blinking mean that the kernel has frozen on both cores? I think I once got all three lights blinking, but I'm not entirely sure. This may also be related to a problem I am having with the Quit box in Gnome. Whenever I go to System > Quit... , the X session freezes. If I go to a text terminal and run Top, I can see that Init is the top process. When I switched back to X, I could see just the filled-in outline of the Quit box. Clicking where the Shut Down button should be does shut down the computer. The only extra kernel module I am running is the Nvidia new driver from Restricted Drivers Manager. The motherboard is an Asus P5K Premium. If there is anything I can try to help to get rid of this problem, I am willing to try. I am now going to add the noapic and nolapic arguments to GRUB for next boot. ** Attachment added: "dmesg and lspci" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/11148209/system.log -- CAPS LOCK LED STARTS BLINKING AND THE NOTEBOOK CRASH (KDE?)
