If you can connect a second system (e.g. a laptop) with an ethernet cable, you could try to ssh in and kill the X server (if that is what is causing the trouble) If possible, run poudriere at a low scheduling priority to keep the system responsive. > This will end up damaging my hardware, so I would really like to get to t= he > bottom of this urgently. I've found that with lockups there is a distinct possibility of hardware failure. Maybe the CPU temperature gets too high, or the PSU just cannot handle the amount of power the system requires. Use a hardware monitor like e.g. mbmon to log system temperatures, voltages &c.
