Subject: 3.6-rc2 crashs often with keyboard blinking

3.6-rc2 crashs often (not during the boot, but later when
using KDE and internet)
Then the keyboard is blinking, sometimes 2, sometimes 3
lamps (Caps Lock, Scroll lock, sometimes Num Lock too)
With 3.6-rc2 this didn't happen. The configuration stays
the same.
In the logfiles is nothing visible.
Ideas how to catch this ?

Huh, above you just said 3.6-rc2 crashes...

If you can hook a serial cable to your system and boot it with
console=/dev/ttyS0 console=tty0 (assuming you hook ttyS0, and adding
baud-rate as needed) you can grab possible kernel out this way.

Alternatively you can also use netconsole and capture output on
a second system on your network (e.g. with netcat).

See Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt and Kconfig help for
netconsole for details.
