@Petr: That's the whole point: this issue comes and goes at random. Booting with 'pci=nomsi' has failed several times for me too, booting with 'nomodeset' works nearly always and booting without extra options (as it should be) works every now and then. You are right that the performance of

You are right, the link I used to get the daily kernel build is now invalid. Try this one: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/daily/?C=M;O=D You will want to try the most recent edition of Lucid or Karmic, depending on your current distro. gr Tom -- [Lucid] ATI KMS causes DRM error

Did some googling on ATI and KMS and found the following: Over at freedesktop.org there are multiple bugs linked to KMS and ATI cards. Most of it *should* be fixed in kernel 2.6.33 or above, which is not the one that Lucid runs now (2.6.32). I linked this bug to the upstream one most likely to

Agreed. I've been bitten by two separate bugs during boot, this one (now solved) and the KMS issue. There's quite a discussion about the latter going on at 509273, which is what you mean I guess. If not, plz point me in the right direction about filing a bug against the right driver (kms,

hi Steve, I wish I could ;-) There were updates to X-core and the ATI/Radeon driver in the same batch that contained Plymouth 0.8.0~-14. To my surprise I can now start up without the dreaded 'nomodeset' option. This works fine, Plymouth and X all doing what they should. So far, so good. In

There may be some relation to 305301, but on my system suspend / hibernate and resume worked perfectly in Jaunty. On moving to Karmic both got broken and are still not fixed completely (see 466868-susp/res and 447192-hib/res) The problem here has no much obvious to do with that, because it
