** Attachment added: "dmesg"
   
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1012590/+attachment/3187544/+files/dmesg

** Tags added: apport-collected

** Description changed:

  Three different machines fail in the same way:
  
  I'm PXE booting the precise daily live CD [1], and if I let the boot
  progress normally, X starts with the "low graphics mode" dialog. The
  XOrg log shows an error relating to the drm module[2].
  
  At this point, if I close the "low graphics mode" dialog and restart
  lightdm, everything comes up properly.
  
  What's interesting is that if I pass "break=mount" to the kernel and
  boot into the busybox shell, and then exit the busybox shell without
  changing anything, X loads the desktop perfectly.
  
  I have tried:
   * Different machines. I get exactly the same result across three different 
machines running different graphics hardware (intel, nvidia, ati).
   * Different ISO images (precise daily live CD, precise release DVD, and 
quantal daily live CD).
   * Putting the graphics driver modules into the CD initrd, so they're loaded 
earlier in the boot sequence, all with no effect.
