Hi!

Caps Lock blinking means a Kernel Panic.  Did you just do a system upgrade of any packages?  If so, how long since your last upgrade?

Try rolling back the last update you did and see if that fixes the issue then.  Depending on what updated there's probably just a very few packages.

File a bug report upstream. And maybe say something on the LKML too... Userspace stuff is not supposed to cause a kernel panic.

Although - maybe networkmanager is probing a wifi module? What's your wifi hardware?
