I sended a mail to the ubuntu-devel mailing list and a ubuntu developers answered that we're not using vesafb and we have not for quite a while. So the Fabio Papa suggestion does not seem to be a solution. It also confirm the fact that this bug only happens with Geforce 8xxx because one developer has a Geforce 7600GS and doesn't have this problem with 64bit.
** Summary changed: - [EM64T]When booting, screen stays black. + [EM64T + nvidia 8xxx]When booting, screen stays black. ** Description changed: Binary package hint: usplash I have a fresh install of Gutsy Gibbon Beta, on an EM64T architecture.
