Hi Martin,
I didn't see any response to this mail of yours on the list so
I thought I'd let you know that I had this problem the other
day as well...

I actually got it because I'd missed my LILO prompt and pressed
ctrl-alt-del while daemons were still loading...

Another fun one is pressing ctrl-alt-del just at the:
INIT: going to runlevel x
or whatever it says... because at this point the root is
mounted readwrite and it just reboots without running
shutdown... (dead fs on reboot)

I guess there aren't many people pressing
ctrl-alt-del before their system has finished booting...

Ciao...
