The error must have some dependency on the hardware you are

I had F14 on four quite different machines:
- an older Celeron based Laptop
- Asus UJ45C (core i5)
- AMD Quadcore
- an old P4
The same behaviour was present on all 4 machines:
booting into Gnome, opening a console, "su root",
init 3 -> nothing happens, the logout and shutdown buttons disappear
and the machine becomes unstable. This was not present in F13, which were
on those 4 machines about 1/2 year ago.
Three of the machines are (aehh, were; they contain opensuse 11.3 and
Gentoo now) freshly installed/updated ones, the Celeron laptop is preupgraded.
The bug remains the same, though.
