(Get the code!)
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?
