I'm suffering from this problem, too. I've upgraded to Kubuntu 9.10 today. I'm running Kubuntu on a Fujitsu Stylistic ST5021 tablet pc (Intel 855GM). My problem looks like the following: The kernel loads, it looks like the system would reach the initramfs, then the screen goes black, the harddisk shows some activity for maybe 5 to 10 seconds, then the system freezes completely (still black screen). The freeze seems to happen at kernel level as the systems responds to maybe 1 or 2 ping packets from the outside, then silence forever. Num lock or caps lock leds are dead at this moment. Im running 2.6.31-16-generic - with old 2.6.28-17-generic the system is able to boot up. The system is also able to boot up if I append one of the following kernel parameters: - nomodeset - i915.modeset=0
Am I right here or should I open a new bug for the linux-image-... package? -- i915: black screen on boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/431812 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
