** Description changed:

- I've just upgraded my install of 11.10 x64 to 12.04 x64. Under 11.10 I
- needed the 'noapic' flag in the boot options, and everything worked
- fine. After the upgrade, my laptop refused to boot (stuck on blank
- screen) until I added the 'nomodeset' flag to the boot options along
- with the existing 'noapic'. The laptop now boots up, but the graphics
- are stuck at 1024x768, with no way of changing them.
+ Since Ubuntu 11.04 my Thinkpad L520 i7 has required the 'noapic' boot
+ flag to be set in order to boot successfully. When I first upgraded to
+ 12.04 on 2011-12-13 this flag was not required to boot into 12.04. But
+ an update sometime in January 2012 has caused a regression somewhere and
+ now the 'noapic' flag is again required.
  
- I just tested with a live cd, and it now only needs the 'nomodeset' flag to 
be set to get it to work.
- (Although this flag comes with the dodgy screen resolution, so it's not very 
usable...)
+ This is quite frustraiting and will mean any new users who don't know
+ anything about boot flags will be unable to install Ubuntu on their
+ laptops.
  
- This problem didn't exist in 11.10, so I'd say it's a regression?
- 
- My laptop is a new-ish (couple of months old) Lenovo Thinkpad L520,
- Intel Quad Core i7 Processor, 6 GB DDR3 SDRAM, 15.6″ HD+ (1600×900), and
- Intel HD Graphics 3000 processor graphics.
- 
- What can I do to help debug this issue?
- I.e. outputs of files, and scripts to run, etc...
+ Also note, I also suffered from another bug which broke my primary laptop 
display on boot. But that has now been fixed in an upstream kernel:
