Hello,
after upgrading a mini-itx machine (VIA CLE266 chipset) from ubuntu 7.10 to
8.04 the machine began to freezing at boot time.
Before freezing, for a instant, the screen becomes green, then the display
shuts down (out of sync error).
I figured out that it was the VIA framebuffer driver vt8623fb that messed the
whole thing up.
In fact, I added the row
blacklist vt8623fb
to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-framebuffer and got the machine working.
Actually, the vt8623fb driver is loaded by both the 7.10's kernel (2.6.22) and
the 8.04's one, but the latter just crashes;
so please add to the blacklisted framebuffer modules the vt8623fb module, or
reassign this bug to the kernel package if you think that it is kernel's fault.
