I wanted to test a re-install so I did a ^P at the console to shut down X.
logged into the text-mode terminal, did a hostinfo to confirm my IP address,
and then did "shutdown now".

I saw a bunch of messages:

vt: argh, driver_data is NULL !

and then a panic.

The backtrace in /var/log/messages sez:
