Too many distractions ... it froze while editing the rsyslog file in the console. Interestingly, the screen unblanked when I pressed the power button. Cursor is blinking. That means the kernel is alive, right? But keyboard does not work, so had to reboot again.

Actually, that might be the problem in Sugar too. When I touch the pad, the Power LED turns back on as if resuming from sleep. But I can't interact - though that might be just because the keyboard and mouse do not work?

It happens on ever other idle sleep it seems. Totally unusable. Going to disable PM for now.

Attaching message log (there wasn't much else).
