John:
I have a machine with an Intel 815 (82815 chipset) video card.
As far back as I can remember using Linux on that machine, the display
you describe has appeared during booting.
The change that caused it to boot to a blank screen, also made the
screen displayed during boot (the 4 flashing dots) finally become
readable (at least, it was readable during shut-down after booting to
a blank screen).
My system can (for the time being) continue using 14.04 by having
locked the level of the xserver-xorg-video-intel package, as you
apparently did.
That will keep the machine alive until 14.04 is no longer supported,
since 14.10 also boots to a blank screen on that machine.
Hi, Aere.
I noted that you were the bug reporter for the i815 bug.
And I see that you're right. I just put a fresh 14.04.1 install on
another hard drive in that machine, and sure enough, white screen with
black bars during boot and shutdown.
I must have ignored and then forgotten about the smaller problem while I
was dealing with the bigger problem, resulting in a classic case of
"barking up the wrong tree" (a technical phrase).
