If anyone wants to make a more detailed hardware/software comparison, please e-mail me. If you installed patchkit 0.2.1 and have recompiled and installed init then init should send a SIGTERM to the server and wait 10 seconds before sending SIGKILL to any remaining processes. This allows the server to exit gracefully and put the keyboard and screen back in a reasonable state. Otherwise they may both be unresponsive. Rich
