Sounds like you trap in the kdb kernel debugger (caps lock and scroll lock
blinking). With X running you can blindly type "go" for continuing or
"reboot" for rebooting. On the console you should see the kdb prompt. See
.../linux/Documentation/kdb.

You can switch kdb off with "kdb=off" boot parameter or
echo "0" > /proc/sys/kernel/kdb. Or dont compile kdb into the kernel.
