[arch-general] Computer blocking due to kernel <-> userspace incompatibility?

[RedShift]

Hello list


Is it possible a computer gets stuck (not responding to keyboard, the only way to bring it back alive is a hard reset) because of a incompatibility between the kernel and userspace? The cursor is still flickering though, that is what leads me to believe it's software crash, not a hardware crash.

This is the software in question:

glibc 2.9-4
kernel-headers 2.6.27.6-2
kernel26 2.6.25.10-1



Thanks,


Best regards,
