Public bug reported:
My post concerns Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex default kernels (2.6.27-2.3,
2.6.27-3.4 tested).
I can only see black screen during boot when using my favourite
"vga=79"1 or "vga=792" options ("splash" and "quiet" removed from grub
menu.lst option of course). Problem also affects Alt+F1,F2... terminals
after boot. However "gdm" starts without any problems.
First observed such a behaviour on (early and final stage) Ubuntu 7.10
(there where no problems on 7.04 and 8.04).
To prove that the problem is in the kernel (not in the distro), I
applied 2.6.27-2.3 kernel to my Ubuntu 8.04 what caused the black screen
during boot. When 2.6.27-3.4 was published I repeated the procedure
again with black screen as a result.
Test were carried out on nVidia GeForce 6600 GT and ATI Rage Mobility
cards on totally different machines.
If you need debugging information please let me know. I assume attaching
"lsusb", "lspci", "dmesg" results is pointless. What do you need then?
