That's a complete different problem. And a critical one to boot. Normally if it breaks that early it is because the initramfs is broken and needs to be rebuilt. Try passing nomodeset to your kernel as it boots and see if that makes diagnosing the problem easier. Besides the date on kernel is earlier than the patch I referenced to fix the original issue. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1079440 Title: i945: Random complete freeze using dual monitors To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/1079440/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
