Have you tried any of these key sequences to recover?
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/Sysrq
Try r to get keyboard back to translate. You should then be able to
move to a console and check out what is happening. There are other key
descriptions in that article.
If that does nothing, using e then i, should get you back to a system
with only init running. Again, at that point you should be able to
access a console, though the system will be more primitive.
No dice? s to sync the file systems, b to reboot.
At least this gives you more options than rebooting directly.
I tried the magic
keystrokes and nothing happened. Caps Lock and
Num Lock do not cause the keyboard LEDs to respond.
