Can you switch to virtual terminal (Alt+Ctrl+F2), remove acer-wmi module and take a photo of crash logs if they show up, if not, perhaps installing kernel-debug give some logs.

Comment 2 Stanislaw Gruszka 2011-06-09 13:39:31 UTC

I'm renaming this bug, for rfkill problem we have opened bug  665532.

Comment 3 Stanislaw Gruszka 2011-07-13 13:15:23 UTC

Can we get photo, or crash logs getting by different way (i.e. kdump or netcosole) ?
