** Description changed: Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.26-3-generic After grub selection there is no any output to screen till gdm start. This happens if VESA mode selected in grub command (vga=792 for example). VGA modes work well. This problem exists only in 2.6.26-3 kernel. As I can see kernel had switched to uvesafb from vesafb. There is another bug (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux- meta/+bug/189621) about missing v86d, which is needed for uvesafb to work correctly. ~$ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu intrepid (development branch) Release: 8.10 $ uname -a Linux astar-laptop 2.6.26-3-generic #1 SMP Wed Jul 2 21:56:15 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux GeForce 8400M GS installed on my laptop.
