Since last updates it is absolutely necessary to boot windows before
rebooting into Linux. X will not work otherwise. If Windows wasn't
booted before the whole system will freeze instantly, showing some
graphical garbage. No mouse, no keyboard, no remote shell. Even most
logs are not written (or whatever had to be written wasn't committed and
rolled back next boot). Only hard resetting helps out.

Booting again, without having started windows before leads to exactly
the same result. Trying "recovery mode" has the same (!) result. It
isn't possible to enter anything. Same garbled screen.

Having booted windows before all is OK. I can work, X running.

This is all with kernel 2.6.32-9. Booting with kernel 2.6.32-10 will
never lead to a working system, regardless of booting windows before or
not. Difference: no garbage on screen. Only a black screen without
anything on it, except a mouse cursor, which I can not move.
