Similar problem here.   I was unable to ssh into the box or log in via
X.  VT's did not work either. Ssh produced no response, ftp and telnet
produced "connection refused", as expected.  It did respond to ping. 
Below is a snip of /var/log/messages.1, where I suspect it started
(before logrotate).  Some particulars:  Dell Precision 330, Intel
Pentium 4 (1.7 GHz), 512MB memory.  Lspci and /var/log/messages.1
follow.  Is there anything other info that may be useful?
