Adjusting severity and priority.

I just crashed, again.
Comment 4 Rémi Cardona (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2010-09-17 06:47:36 UTC 
Please don't change the priority and severity fields.

Please also try using a *much* newer kernel.

Thanks
Comment 5 Raymond Jennings 2010-09-17 07:12:22 UTC 
Should I reopen this bug if it still happens after I upgrade my kernel?
Comment 6 PetaMem R&D 2010-11-08 10:21:45 UTC 
Same problem here on a Thinkpad W500, fresh installation
Kernel is 2.6.36-tuxonice, xorg-server is 1.9.2
KDM starts, but after login credentials

xf86OpenConsole: VT_WAITACTIVE failed: Interrupted system call

and the kdm login screen reappears.

I would not estimate the status as RESOLVED.
Comment 7 Raymond Jennings 2010-11-08 15:26:27 UTC 
Reopening bug as we now have a confirmed second witness.

And yes, it did happen even after a kernel upgrade.
