Thank you very much for this information! One question - which of the 
following is correct?:

a) While simultaneously holding down Crtl + Alt + SysRq, press first s, 
then u, then b - sequentially, not at the same time.

b) First simultaneously hit Crtl + Alt + SysRq, then release them and 
press first s, then u, then b - sequentially, not at the same time.

I'm assuming "a"... which is a little difficult, but not impossible. 
(Reminds me of that old "Twister" game.)
